Adding or updating Management Server information
To add or update individual Management Server login information to the map file, use the following
command options shown in Table 2:
smispasswd -h <hostname/ip_address> -n <namespace> -p <port> -u
<user_name> -s <y|n>
Table 2 Individual Management Server information
DescriptionCommand Options
This is either a DNS resolvable hostname or IP address of the Management Server-h <hostname/ip_address>
This is the name space configured for the SMI-S CIMOM
1
. The default namespace
is root/EVA.
-n <namespace>
This is the port on which the SMI-S server listens. This attribute is optional and is used
when SMI-S server does not listen on the default ports.
-p <port>
This is the user name used to connect to SMI-S. The user name and password is the
same as those used with the sssu tool.
-u <user_name>
This option specifies the type of connection needed to be established between
Metrocluster software and the SMI-S CIMOM.
-s <y|n>
This option allows secure connection to Management Server using the HTTPS protocol
(HTTP using Secure Socket Layer encryption).
“y”
This option means a secure connection is not required.“n”

CIMOM - Common Information Model Object Manager, a key component that routes information between providers
and clients.
This command adds a new record if it does not find the <hostname/ip_address> in the mapping
file. Otherwise, it only updates the record.
For Example:
# smispasswd -h <hostname/ip_address> -u administrator -n root/EVA -s
y
Enter password: **********
Re-enter password: ********
A new information has been successfully created
Deleting a Management Server
To delete a Management Server from the group used by the cluster, use the smispasswd command
with -r option. Example:
# smispasswd -r <hostname/ip_address>
The Management Server <hostname/ip_address> has been successfully removed
from the file
Defining HP P6000/EVA Storages cells and DR groups
On the node where access to SMI-S server is configured, define the HP P6000/EVA Storages and
DR Groups information to be used in the Metrocluster environment. The Metrocluster software
requires the internal device IDs to query the HP P6000/EVA storage states. The evadiscovery tool
is a Command Line Interface (CLI) that provides functions for defining P6000/EVA storage cells
and DR group information. The tool caches the internal device IDs in the caeva.map file by
querying and searching for a list of devices information. This type of caching improves the
performance when querying HP P6000/EVA storage states through the SMI-S whenever required.
To use the evadiscovery tool:
