## data; fields on each line should be separated either by ##
## space(s)or tab(s). The order of fields is significant. ##
## The first field must be a hostname or IP address, the ##
## second field must be a user login name on the host. The ##
## third field must be ‘y’ or ‘n’ to use SSL connect. The ##
## last field must be the namespace of the SMI-S service. ##
## For details of each field data, refer to the smispasswd ##
## man page, ‘man smispasswd’. ##

## Note: Lines beginning with the pound sign (#) are ##
## comments. You # cannot use the ‘#’ character in your ##
## data entries. Enter your SMI-S services data under the ##
## dashed lines: ##
## Hostname/IP_Address User_login_name Secure Namespace ##
## IP_Address Connection ##
## 15.13.172.11 administrator n root/EVA ##
## 15.13.172.12 administrator n root/EVA ##

Fill in the Management Server information for each Management Server in your cluster configuration.
NOTE: Ensure that you place the active Management Server information first on the list.
Creating the Management Server Mapping File
Use the smispasswd command to create or modify the Management Server information stored
in the mapping file.
For each Management Server listed in the file, there will be a password prompt displayed. A
username and password are required because of the security protocol for EVA and is created by
your system administrator when the Management Server is configured. Input the password associated
with the username of the SMI-S. Then, re-enter it (as prompted) to verify that it is correct. Example:
# smispasswd -f /etc/dtsconf/smiseva.conf
NOTE: For more information on configuring the username and password for SMI-S on the
management server, refer HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Installation Guide.
Enter password of 15.13.172.11: **********
Re-enter password of 15.13.172.11: **********
Enter password of 15.13.172.12: **********
Re-enter password of 15.13.172.12: **********
All the Management Server information has been successfully generated.
When all the passwords have been entered, the configuration is written to the map file /etc/
dtsconf/caeva.map.
Setting a Default Management Server
Use the smispasswd command to set the active Management Server that is to be used by EVA
discovery tool, which will be discussed later in the section. Example:
# smispasswd -d 15.13.172.12
The Management Server 15.13.172.11 has been set as the default active
SMI-S.
Displaying the List of Management Servers
Use the smispasswd command to display the current list of storage management servers that are
accessible by the cluster software. Example:
# smispasswd -l
MC/CAEVA Server list:
HOST USERNAME USE_SSL NAMESPACE
