Excluding HDS Storage Systems from Force Device Manager Refresh

The management server obtains most of its information about the HDS storage systems from the HiCommand Device Manager (proxy server) it discovered. If HiCommand Device Manager, does not have the latest information, the management server also displays the outdated information.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 HiCommand Device Manager it discovered has the latest information. This can be done by forcing the HiCommand Device Manager 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 HiCommand Device Manager (proxy server), unless specified. If you do not want a HiCommand Device Manager to be refreshed, you must assign the HDS storage systems that use HiCommand Device Manager to the cimom.HdsSkipRefresh property, as described in the steps in this section.

IMPORTANT: Before performing any provisioning operations, you should perform a forced refresh.

To exclude HDS storage systems from a forced refresh:

1.Select Options >Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health > Advanced.

2.Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.

3.Copy the following command. How you copy the text depends on your Web browser. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, select the text and then right-click the selected text. Then, select Copy.

#cimom.HdsSkipRefresh=61038,61037

4.Return to the Advanced page (Options >Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health > Advanced).

5.Paste the copied text into the Custom Properties field. How you paste the text depends on your Web browser. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, right-click the field and select Paste.
