Hp 6G Virtual Sas Manager - HP 634041-006 Deployment Manual

HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager

HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) is embedded in the 6Gb SAS BL Switch firmware and is the
software application used to create hardware-based zone groups to control access to external SAS
storage. Servers in the c-Class enclosure are then granted access to these zone groups, allowing
them to access the storage.
Available in both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI), VSM offers
the following key tasks:
Configure switch parameters
Create zone groups
Assign zone groups to servers
Reset the switch
Update firmware
For information on the VSM, see its online help and the HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide,
available on the HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Manuals website
support/manuals.
The following image shows an example page of the VSM, when creating a drive bay zone group
in an MDS600 zoned SAS storage enclosure.
