System tab for a storage host
A storage host is a server, desktop, or workstation connected by an HBA to a SAN. Additional links are
available on the System Page to access detailed information when a storage host is selected. Included are
areas that are unique to storage hosts. HP SIM displays data supplied by each HBA SMI-S provider . If an
HBA SMI-S provider does not supply data for a property, the property does not appear on this page. For
additional information about the tab, see “System tab”.
The Host Bus Adapters section shows the date, time, and duration of the last data collection task. To
update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data Collection task. For additional
information about data collection tasks, see “Data collection”.
If this host is managed by HP Storage Essentials, the Host Bus Adapters and LUNs 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. To view the Storage Essentials system page for this storage host, click the SE System
Properties link.
The Quick Launch hyperlink links to a short list of frequently used tools. Place your cursor over the link to
expand the menu and view the tools available for displayed systems. Selecting a tool from this list bypasses
the target verification page of the Task Wizard. You cannot schedule tools launched from this menu. Customize
this menu by clicking the Customize link in the Quick Launch menu.
