What is SMU?

Each controller module contains a SMU web server. SMU is the primary interface
for monitoring and managing MSA2000 Family storage systems from a
management host (a workstation with direct or network connections to a storage
system's management ports).
SMU enables you to configure and maintain the storage for data hosts (a host that
reads/writes data to the storage system). You can manage the following physical and
logical storage components:
Controller enclosures and controller modules
■
Drive enclosures and expansion modules
■
Power-and-cooling modules
■
Drive modules
■
Virtual disks (vdisks)
■
Volumes
■
Volume-to-host mappings, including logical unit number (LUN) assignments
■
Master volumes, snap pools, and snapshots
