Does Simple SAN Connection Manager support dynamic disk functionality?

When I launch Simple SAN Connection Manager, it takes a long time to open.

Symptoms:

None.

Solution:

None. This version of Simple SAN Connection Manager does not support dynamic disk

functionality.

Symptoms:

This can be caused by a several factors:

The subsystem is busy servicing I/O.

The Ethernet network is busier than normal with traffic.

There are many servers with HP HBAs and agents running. This requires more time

for these systems to respond and report to the Simple SAN Connection Manager

server discovery.

There are many subsystems or the subsystems have many logical and physical disks.

This requires more time for the subsystems to gather and report the information to

Simple SAN Connection Manager.

Solution:

Be patient. We recommend launching Simple SAN Connection Manager during

periods of light or no I/O traffic. It may also help to limit the number of servers

discovered by selecting the Discover only servers on the Current Server List check box

on the Server List Management dialog box (see

Managing the server list

on page 78).
