About acquiring the most recent storage system information
To get the most current information about a target storage system, manually refresh the system to
display it.
When you click Refresh Storage System to refresh it, the following information is updated for storage
resources:
•
Volumes
•
Parity groups
•
THP/Smart Pools
•
External storage connections
TIP:
When data placement profiles for Smart volumes are being managed, you can specify an option in
the Refresh Storage Systems dialog box to search for inconsistencies in data placement profiles.
To update information about hosts, such as the host name, WWNs, refresh the hosts.
To update host bus adapter (HBA) WWN nicknames, refresh one or more storage systems. Refreshing
host information does not update WWN nicknames. When several WWN nicknames are assigned
to a single HBA, only one of the nicknames is displayed for that HBA.
If connected to P9000 Performance Advisor Software, users can also update performance information
that is displayed in the Mobility tab. To automatically update the storage system information, specify
proper settings in the
server.properties
file or
dispatcher.properties
file of the
management server. For details about specifiable values, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced
Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
