Adding or Removing a Storage Array From the
SMI-S Provider
During installation, you are prompted to enter the IP addresses into a file.
After this initial setup, the SMI-enabled client must use the SMI-S Provider
proxy server system management profile to add or remove devices.
NOTE:
When a storage array is added, the IP address of only one of the
management ports of the storage array must be supplied (and not both
management ports). Entering the IP addresses for both management ports of a
single storage array causes unpredictable behavior of the SMI-S Provider.
