Added links to access the CommandCentral Storage Change Manager

Console

If you enable CommandCentral Storage Change Manager on your Management Server, you can load the CommandCentral Storage Change Manager Console from the CommandCentral Storage Console. To do this, you can use the following links:

Storage Change Manager—this link appears in the header of the CommandCentral Storage Console. When you click this link, the CommandCentral Storage Change Manager Console loads in a new browser window and the Home pane (Dashboard) displays.

Change History—this link appears in the Overview pane for storage resources for which CommandCentral Storage Change Manager tracks the change history. When you click this link, the CommandCentral Storage Change Manager Console loads in a new browser window, displays the Changes pane, and filters the pane to display the change history for the specific storage resource.

For more information, see the CommandCentral Storage User’s Guide.

Name of device managers display when viewing list of devices

When you view the list of configured devices in the Console, the Configured Devices Summary now displays the name of the device manager that manages your devices. This is helpful when you want to identify the device manager that manages a specific device. For example, you may want to identify the CIMOM that manages each of your storage arrays.

For more information, see the CommandCentral Administrator’s Guide.

Ability to set new managed hosts in unmanaged state

In CommandCentral Storage 5.1, you can configure the Management Server to detect new managed hosts, but not automatically manage those hosts. When this happens, the Management Server does not collect any data from the managed host and it does not monitor the managed host. When you are ready for the Management Server to manage an unmanaged host, you can simply refresh the managed host in the Console.

For example, you might do this if you have a standard system image policy or if you need to take advantage of an available installation window.

For more information, see the CommandCentral Administrator’s Guide.

Hotfix deployment mechanism

CommandCentral introduces a new hotfix deployment mechanism that allows you to push and install hotfixes on remote hosts. The mechanism also allows you to determine the current version of a CommandCentral component so that you can better manage the deployment of hotfixes.
