What Is Smu; Preparing To Use Smu; Logging In And Out Of Smu; Understanding The Interface - HP StorageWorks 2000 Series Reference Manual

This chapter introduces HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Family Storage Management
Utility (SMU), the web-browser interface for MSA2000 Family storage systems. It
also describes how to configure this interface by setting system preferences,
configuring users, and managing licenses.
This chapter contains the following sections:
"What is SMU?" on page 17
"Preparing to Use SMU" on page 18
"Logging In and Out of SMU" on page 19
"Understanding the Interface" on page 21
Each controller module contains a SMU web server. SMU is the primary interface
for monitoring and managing MSA2000 Family storage systems from a
management host (a workstation with direct or network connections to a storage
system's management ports).
SMU enables you to configure and maintain the storage for data hosts (a host that
reads/writes data to the storage system). You can manage the following physical and
logical storage components:
Controller enclosures and controller modules
Drive enclosures and expansion modules
Power-and-cooling modules
Drive modules
Virtual disks (vdisks)
Volumes
Volume-to-host mappings, including logical unit number (LUN) assignments
Master volumes, snap pools, and snapshots
