HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Manager User Guide (5697-0454, May 2010)

DescriptionProperty
The type of connection over which the remote VSM server is recognized by the
local VSM servers in the local domain. If the VSM server belongs to the local
domain, this is the type of connection over which the other VSM servers in the
domain recognize the VSM server. Possible values:
• FC—The remote VSM server is recognized by the local VSM servers in the
local domain over an FC connection.
• iSCSI—The remote VSM server is recognized by the local VSM servers in the
local domain over an iSCSI connection.
• Mixed—The remote VSM server is recognized by local VSM servers in the
local domain over both FC and iSCSI connections.
Connection Type
The role in which the VSM server is functioning. A VSM server can perform both
management and data moving tasks. In the current release of SAN Virtualization
Services Platform, the only possible value is VSM, which indicates that the VSM
server is running as a VSM server. If it is the active VSM server of the domain,
you can connect to it with the VSM client and manage the SAN configuration. If
it is passive, then it works as a standby VSM server, ready to become active when
the current active VSM server fails.
Role
The serial number that was assigned to the VSM server during installation. All
VSM servers that are interconnected must have unique serial numbers that range
from 1 to 8 digits.
Serial number
The version of the VSM software running on the VSM server.Version
The management IP address of the VSM server. This is the IP address and TCP
port to which the VSM client connects. Every VSM server has a web server to
which the VSM client connects in order to manage the VSM server. The manage-
ment IP address is configured in the network tab of VSM monitor. VSM monitor is
an application that runs on the VSM server workstation.
Management IP address
The number of connections with which the VSM server is connected to the SAN
fabric.
LoopUp
The number of data moving tasks currently being handled by the VSM server. This
enables you to see the distribution of tasks between the two VSM servers in the
local domain. The information is only available for the local domain (the domain
to which you are connected).
No. of Tasks
The total number of virtual disks in data moving tasks. If a task is performed on a
VDG, for example, the task performs the data movement for all members of the
VDG. In this way, a VSM server can have a low number of tasks and yet can be
occupied with data movement for many virtual disks.
No. of Virtual Disks
Yes indicates that the VSM server is enabled for handling data moving tasks. This
is the default setting.
Enabled
Viewing VSM server information
You can view detailed information related to a VSM server in the tabs area below a VSM server list.
To view information related to a VSM server:
1. In the navigation tree, expand the SVSP Domains node.
2. Select a domain in the navigation tree. The VSM servers that comprise the domain are listed in
the list area.
