Excluding EMC Symmetrix Storage Systems from Force Device Manager Refresh
The management server obtains most of its information about Symmetrix storage systems from the EMC Solutions Enabler (proxy server) it discovered. If the EMC Solutions Enabler does not have the latest information, the management server also displays the outdated information.
To make the management server aware of any changes, make sure the Solutions Enabler it discovered has the latest information. This can be done by forcing the Solutions Enabler to refresh its data. The management server is then made aware of these changes.
When the Force Device Manager Refresh option is selected, the management server refreshes discovered EMC Solutions Enabler (proxy server), unless specified. If you do not want an EMC Solutions Enabler to be refreshed, you must assign the Symmetrix storage systems that use the Solutions Enabler to the cimom.emc.skipRefresh property, as described in the steps in this section.
