To log in to P9000 Command View AE Software: 1. Start a Web browser and enter the URL of the P9000 Command View AE Software server: http://Device-Manager-server-address:port-number/DeviceManager/ Device-Manager-server-address: IP address or host name of the Device Manager server port-number: Port number of the HBase Storage Mgmt Web Service Example: http://localhost:23015/DeviceManager/ (for non-SSL) https://localhost:23016/DeviceManager/ (for SSL) 2. Enter a user ID and password to log in.
To set access control: 1. Create resource groups 2. Create user groups 3. Assign resource groups and roles to user groups About developing a virtualized storage environment Virtualization of storage allows a larger than physical storage capapcity for a stand-alone host, thus reducing equipment and operational costs as well as permiting the integration heterogenous storage devices. The following graphic illustrates the flow for setting up a virtual storage environment.
About monitoring storage You can check the status of storage resources to detect problems and output reports to a CSV file containing search results or configuration and capacity information about hosts, logical groups, and other storage resources. This information can be used to migrate volumes or add THP pool volumes to optimize storage resources. The following graphics illustrate the flow of monitoring and checking the status of storage resources.
2 Registering managed targets This module describes how to register storage systems and hosts. Registering storage systems This module describes how to register storage systems. About registering a storage system Registering a storage system enables you to monitor and manage storage resources, such as volumes, parity groups, THP pools, and external storage connections. Information about a storage system can be changed after the storage system is registered.
6. When the task completes, confirm that the storage system appears on the Storage Systems tab of Managed Resources. Or, you can confirm that the storage system name appears in the Storage Systems tree on the Resources tab.

Controlling access to resources This module describes how to control access to resources. About controlling access When a SAN environment is managed by storage administrators, resources are managed by resource and user groups.
The following is an example of using resource groups to control access in a HP StorageWorks P9500 Disk Array storage system. One method for division would be to separate resources by company location. For example, if you create resource groups based on locations, the administrators in each location can use only the resources that have been assigned to them and are restricted from accidentally accessing the resources of other locations.
Prerequisites for creating resource groups Resource groups, which are user defined, can be set for the HP StorageWorks P9500 Disk Array. Each resource is automatically registered in the All Resources and in Default resource groups created for its storage system (this group cannot be deleted). Note that if a volume that is part of a LUSE or THP pool is registered in a resource group, other volumes in that LUSE or THP pool are also registered in the same resource group.
5. From the Explorer menu, select Settings and then select Refresh Setting. 6. Click the Configuration Setting link. 7. Select the local DevMgr check box and then click Refresh Configuration.
