Array-based management proxy displays incorrectly

In an array-based management configuration, the managed proxy displayed is different from that

of the web access point. When a layered application uses this information, it sees different IP

addresses in Managed Proxy and Launch URL. Although the management proxy displays incorrectly,

the URL for HP P6000 Command View launches the array-based management correctly.

Cannot access HP P6000 Command View from HP Systems Insight Manager or HP P6000

Replication Solutions Manager

To log on to HP P6000 Command View directly from HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) or HP

P6000 Replication Solutions Manager, a trust relationship, referred to as Single Sign-on, must be

established between the applications. When the trust relationship is broken, HP P6000 Command

View cannot be run from HP SIM or HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager. In this case, you

must re-establish the trust relationship. See “Single Sign-on from HP Systems Insight Manager” in

the HP P6000 Command View Software Suite User Guide.
