HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) version 2.3 User Guide

NOTE: SPM does not automatically create new folders under Host in the HP P6000 Command
View Software. However, if the administrator has created host entries under folders, the existing
folders and contained hosts are imported into SPM and can be referenced when specifying Fibre
Channel host requirements. Refer to HP P6000 Command View Software documentation for more
information about hosts and folders.
Backup and restore on P6000/EVA volumes
SPM supports backup and restore of P6000/EVA volumes by writing a management signature
string to every P6000/EVA volume managed by SPM. This string is stored in the volume's Comment
field in the array. This field should not be modified manually using HP P6000 Command View
Software or by other means. For more information, see “Backup and restore” (page 21).
