Discovering HP StorageWorks EVA Arrays
Using Command View EVA 4.x
Command View EVA 4.x requires the use of the Command View EVA SMI-S provider.
IMPORTANT: Specifying a fictitious HBA WWN (such as a WWN of all 1s) when creating an
HSG on the EVA 4000 results in a failed provisioning operation. This error originates from the
Hewlett-Packard SMI-S provider software.
The management server uses the EVA provider by default. To enable the SMI-S provider:
1. Click Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in
the Disk Space tree.
2. Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
3. Copy the following property:
cimom.eva.discovery.useSMI=false
4. Return to the Advanced page (Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health.
Then, click Advanced in the Disk Space tree).
5. Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties field.
6. Uncomment the
cimom.eva.discovery.useSMI property by removing the number sign (#) in
front of
cimom.eva.discovery.useSMI.
7. Change the
cimom.eva.discovery.useSMI property to true:
cimom.eva.discovery.useSMI=true
8. When you are done, click Save.
9. Restart the service for the management server for your changes to take effect.
While AppStorManager is restarting, users are not able to access the management server. The
AppStorManager service must be running for the management server to monitor elements.
