SPM adapter for EMC® Symmetrix® VMAX®: Matrix support for automation of EMC storage operations via the HP Storage Provisioning Manager

Technical white paper | SPM Adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX

Uninstall

Before uninstalling the HP SPM adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX component, it is advised to perform following steps as

applicable:

• Deactivate SPM services that are bound to resources on the EMC storage.

• Remove the EMC Symmetrix VMAX array from the SPM catalog if it is already imported. This is required to avoid any errors

in SPM as it invokes the adapter to perform RefreshResources operations on the imported array objects.

Note

When an array is removed from the SPM catalog, SPM will remove all imported pools and volumes from that array.

Uninstalling the adapter will disable the adapter if it is enabled. While disabling the adapter, the SPM service will be stopped

and restarted.

Note

SPM requests result from the manual or automated creation of a storage pool entry for fulfillment through SPM or

provisioning a logical server (directly or from a Matrix infrastructure orchestration service template) which uses SPM

storage. These requests will be affected if they are running while disabling the adapter. It is recommended to uninstall the

adapter when no SPM jobs are running.

To uninstall the HP SPM adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX, select Insight Management from the Control Panel -> Program

Uninstall window. The HP Insight Management Uninstall window will open. Select the HP SPM adapter for EMC Symmetrix

VMAX component to uninstall and click the Next button.
