P2000 G3 Sas Msa Array System Storage Management Utility - HP P2000 Deployment Manual

P2000 G3 SAS MSA Array System Storage Management Utility

The Storage Management Utility (SMU) offers a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring,
managing, and monitoring the P2000 G3 MSA storage systems. The SMU is accessed through a
browser by entering the IP address of the P2000 G3 MSA Array Controller management port.
Through the SMU, you can manage the following physical and logical storage components:
controller enclosures, drive enclosures, P2000 G3 MSA Array controllers, power-and-cooling
modules, hard 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 HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference
Guide, available on the P2000 G3 MSA Array System website at http://www.hp.com/go/P2000.
The following image shows a status summary view, with information about the P2000 G3 MSA
Array and its vdisks, including hardware and storage system status messages.
