HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 User Guide

Systems Insight Manager displays storage systems as follows:
• Internal drives
These systems must appear in the Properties pages and the inventory database as components
of their respective systems.
• Tape libraries
These devices are identified and included in the All Systems, All Storage Systems, and All
Tape Libraries collections.
• SAN
The Command View systems for these devices are identified and available from the Tools &
Links tab of the System Page for the systems serving the Command View systems.
NOTE: Systems Insight Manager discovers SAN and NAS management applications and provides
user access to system information when those applications are started.
