Msl 2040 Sas And P2000 G3 Sas Msa Storage Management Utility - HP 634041-006 Deployment Manual

MSL 2040 SAS and P2000 G3 SAS MSA Storage Management Utility

The Storage Management Utility (SMU) offers a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring,
managing, and monitoring the MSA storage systems. The SMU is accessed through a browser by
entering the IP address of the MSA controller management port. The SMU for the MSA 2040 SAS
and P2000 G3 SAS arrays are very similar, with the MSA 2040 SAS array adding support for
SSDs and more enclosures. Examples shown below use the P2000 G3 SMU.
Through the SMU, you can manage the following physical and logical storage components:
controller enclosures, drive enclosures, MSA 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 MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide, available

System and its vdisks, including hardware and storage system status messages.
