System tab for a storage array
A storage array is a disk array that uses a Fibre Channel controller to connect to a storage area network
(SAN). Additional links are available on the System Page to access detailed information when a storage
array is selected. Included here are the areas that are unique to storage arrays. HP SIM displays data
supplied by the array's SMI-S provider . If the SMI-S provider does not supply data for a particular property,
the property does not appear on this page. See “System tab” for additional information about the tab.
The Ports, Storage Volumes, and Capacity Information sections show the date, time, and duration of the last
data collection task. If you want to update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data
Collection task. See “Data collection” for additional information about data collection tasks.
If this storage array is managed by HP Storage Essentials, the Ports, Storage Volumes, and Capacity
Information sections do not appear on this page, and an SE System Properties link appears in the
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 array.
