Getting Started; Using The Cmc; Auto Discover; The Cmc - HP StorageWorks P4000 User Manual

1 Getting started

Welcome to the SAN/iQ software and the Centralized Management Console (CMC). Use the CMC
to configure and manage the HP P4000 SAN Solution.
This product guide provides instructions for configuring individual storage systems, as well as for
creating volumes, snapshots, remote copies, and storage clusters of multiple storage systems.

Using the CMC

Use the CMC to:
• Configure and manage storage systems
• Create and manage clusters and volumes

Auto discover

When you open the CMC the first time, it automatically searches the subnet for storage systems. Any
storage systems it discovers appear in the navigation window on the left side of the CMC. If no storage
systems are found, the Find Systems Wizard opens and takes you through the steps to discover the
storage systems on your network.
Disable the Auto Discover by Broadcast feature by clearing the check box on the Find Systems window.
