Excluding HDS Storage Systems from Force Device Manager Refresh
The management server obtains most of its information about the HDS storage systems from the
HiCommand Device Manager (proxy server) it discovered. If HiCommand Device Manager, does
not have the latest information, the management server also displays the outdated information.
To make the management server aware of any changes, make sure the HiCommand Device
Manager it discovered has the latest information. This can be done by forcing the HiCommand
Device Manager to refresh its data.
When the Force Device Manager Refresh option is selected, the management server refreshes
discovered HiCommand Device Manager (proxy server), unless specified. If you do not want a
HiCommand Device Manager to be refreshed, you must assign the HDS storage systems that use
HiCommand Device Manager to the cimom.HdsSkipRefresh property, as described in the
steps in this section.
IMPORTANT: Before performing any provisioning operations, you should perform a forced refresh.
To exclude HDS storage systems from a forced refresh:
1. Select Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health, and then click Advanced in the
Disk Space tree.
2. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
3. Copy the following command.
# cimom.HdsSkipRefresh=61038,61037
4. Click Close to return to the Advanced page.
5. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties box.
6. Remove the pound (#) symbol in front of the property to make sure it is not commented out. Add
the serial numbers corresponding to the HDS storage systems you want the refresh to skip.
Separate additional serial numbers with a comma, as shown by the following example:
cimom.HdsSkipRefresh=61038,61037
where 61038 and 61037 are serial numbers for HDS storage systems.
