110 Storage Management Service
Migrating from Array Manager to the Storage Management
If you replace an existing Array Manager installation with Storage Management, the following migration
considerations apply:
Virtual Disk Preservation
. You can preserve the virtual disk names when migrating from Array
Manager to Storage Management. To do so, however, you must not uninstall Array Manager prior to
installing Storage Management. If Array Manager is uninstalled prior to installing Storage
Management, then Storage Management will rename the virtual disks created with Array Manager.
Whether or not Array Manager is uninstalled, Storage Management will be able to identify and
manage the virtual disks created with Array Manager.
SNMP Traps
. The architecture for handling the SNMP traps and the Management Information Base
(MIB) is different in Storage Management than Array Manager. You may need to modify applications
that have been customized to receive SNMP traps from Array Manager.
Event Numbering.
The numbering scheme for Storage Management alerts or events is different than
the numbers used for the corresponding Array Manager events. See the Storage Management online
help for more information.
Storage Management Command Line Interface
See the Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide for information about running the
Storage Management Service from the command line. If you have the Storage Management installed,
you can also refer to the online help for information about the expanded omreport and omconfig
command line options.
