Once the arrays are added, the SSMC begins the process of connecting the arrays to manage them. To connect your 3PARs, you use the Actions button to add the arrays. Once you login, you are presented with a Storage Systems view with no systems connected. The next step is to login to the Administrator console and connect the SSMC to your 3PAR arrays. You click Set Credential button and save a password for the administrator account. On the SSMC server, you may browse to (if you chose the default TCP port during installation) and you will be presented a message saying that the Administrator credential is not set. If you have altered the Local Security Policy on your Windows system and removed the Users group from the Allow log on locally, you will get an error. Once you finish the installation, the installer tries to start the service.

There is also a cool video on SSMC made by Calvin Zito a.k.a. I think a lot of companies will start to migrate soon to this new web-based platform since it is that easy to install, configure and use… System Report, which was an separate tool so far, is now integrated with SSMC and allows (as in the current version) to zoom-in online from daily to high-res data: Notice that Remote Copy configuration and Reports are in there as well. You also get a large top menu with all typical 3PAR topics like CPG’s, volume sets and so on:įrom here you get all detail and configuration windows to configure your 3PAR. Mmm this does look a lot like OneView… Mmm donuts! I’m not gonna bother you with all the screenshots of the typical Next-Next-Finish installation (couldn’t be easier), once you connect to the console ( by default) you will get a prompt to set the Administrator credentials:Īfter that, you get into the Admin console where you can connect to your 3PAR storage array:įrom now on your new management console is all ready: The new console is completely web-based, the software must be installed on a Windows or Linux server (physical or virtual) with 2 logical processors, 4GB of RAM and 2GB of free space… Well, now the software is officially there on the HP Software Depot: Screenshots were made public already, if you had some good connections you could run a ‘test’ version of the software.
One of them was a new management interface called StoreServ Management Console.
HP announced last December at HP Discover a new series of enhancements on their 3PAR storage portfolio.
