Msa2000-Family Storage Management Utility - HP 2000sa Deployment Manual

MSA2000-family Storage Management Utility

The Storage Management Utility (SMU) offers a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring,
managing, and monitoring the MSA2000-family storage systems. The SMU is accessed through
a browser by entering the IP address of the MSA2000 management port.
Through the SMU, you can manage the following physical and logical storage components:
controller enclosures, drive enclosures, MSA2000 controllers, power-and-cooling modules, drives,
virtual disks (Vdisks), volumes, volume-to-host mappings, master volumes, snap pools, and snapshots.
The SMU includes monitoring and diagnostic features that enhance the reliability, availability, and
serviceability of the storage system. You can configure the transmission of event notifications (alerts),
which can be sent to the screen or to e-mail addresses, and Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) traps, which can be sent to an SNMP application. Events are also recorded in an event
log on the storage system from which they can be viewed.
In dual-controller systems, you can access all SMU functions from either controller. If one controller
becomes unavailable, you can continue to monitor and manage the storage system from the partner
controller.
For more Information about using the SMU, see the reference guide for your MSA2000 model,
available on the MSA2000 website at http://www.hp.com/go/msa2000.

and its Vdisks, including hardware and storage system status messages.
