try to use the remote management servers to interface with the remote array.
Configuration tool (clxevaconfig.exe)
P6000 Cluster Extension uses the configuration tool (clxevaconfig.exe) to store configuration
and access information for each configured management server. This tool stores information in the
clxevacfg file. However, because the clxevacfg file cannot be edited with a standard text
editor, management server entries can only be added, modified, and deleted using the configuration
tool that is included with the standard installation of P6000 Cluster Extension. For more information,
see “Configuring P6000 Cluster Extension” (page 16).
SSL protocol
You can configure P6000 Cluster Extension to use the SSL protocol to communicate with the HP
SMI-S server. The SSL setting depends on whether or not SSL has been enabled on the HP SMI-S
server side.
Some HP products do not support SSL communication with the HP SMI-S server. Make sure that all
of the products you use with the P6000/EVA storage system that rely on the HP SMI-S server also
support SSL. If you use one product that uses the HP SMI-S server and does not support SSL
communication, you must disable SSL on the HP SMI-S server side and change all clients (for
example, P6000 Cluster Extension) to disable SSL communication.
