StorMan needs a Management Instance that delivers informations about a certain Storage system and provides management functions. This Management Instance is an SMI-S provider for ETERNUS systems. The host on which the instance is running must be defined in StorMan’s configuration.
For this purpose execute the command:
storcfg provider -add -ip ip [-provideruser myUser -providerpwd myPassword] -storagemodel myStorageModel
to specify the IP address of the management instance. The discovery of the storage systems managed by this instance is starting automatically.
For ETERNUS DX/AF storage arrays the IP address corresponds with the IP address of the storage system.
At least one management instance must be defined in StorMan configuration for each managed storage system. Management via remote connected storage systems is not supported.
