Changes to HP SIM storage functionality when HP Storage Essentials is installed
If HP Storage Essentials is installed, the following changes occur within HP SIM:
• HP Storage Essentials items are added to the Tools, Deploy, Optimize, Reports, Tasks & Logs,
and Options menus. For information about these menu items, see your HP Storage Essentials
documentation.
• A shared collection called Storage Essentials Systems is added to the Systems & Events panel.
• The following collections are included under Storage Essentials Systems: SE Cluster Nodes, All
SE Systems, SE Hosts, SE Switches, SE Storage Arrays, and SE Tape Libraries.
• If a storage system is managed by HP Storage Essentials, storage-specific details do not appear in its
System tab, and an SE System Properties link appears in the HP Storage Essentials Pages
section on the Tools & Links tab. Click the SE System Properties link to view the Storage Essentials
device page for this storage system.
• For storage hosts, HP Storage Essentials adds the System Application Discovery Settings hyperlink
to the Tools & Links Page. Use this link to access the preferences for HP Storage Essentials system
application discovery.
• No data appears in HP SIM storage system reports because HP SIM data collection from SMI-S devices
is disabled to avoid duplicate data collection from both HP SIM and HP Storage Essentials. For
information about storage system reporting with HP Storage Essentials, see your HP Storage Essentials
documentation.
• The storage tables in HP SIM Data Collection reports are not populated with data because HP SIM
SMI-S data collection is disabled.
• Storage systems that are managed by HP Storage Essentials show a subtype of Storage Essentials
Managed, and do not show the SMI subtype.
