About Storage Systems

Storage systems are SAN-attached Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel host bus adapters). HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses WBEM SMI-S providers to discover and collect data from storage systems. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers to view the latest information about HP SIM device support and for information on obtaining and installing SMI-S providers.

The default collection Storage Systems is listed under Systems by Type in the tree in the Systems and Events panel. The following collections are available under Storage Systems:

All Storage Systems. This category includes all devices that were discovered through an SMI-S provider.
All Storage Hosts. A storage host is a server, desktop, or workstation that is connected by a host bus adapter (HBA) to a storage area network (SAN). Storage hosts are also included in the All Servers and All Systems collections.
All Storage Switches. A storage switch is a Fibre Channel switch that is connected to a SAN. Storage switches are also included in the All Systems and All Network Devices collections.
All Storage Arrays. A storage array is a disk array that uses a Fibre Channel controller to connect to a SAN. Storage arrays are also included in the All Systems collection.
All Tape Libraries. A tape library is a tape drive that is connected to SAN. Tape libraries are also included in the All Systems collection.
