System Reporter in SSMC is a huge leap forward from the stand-alone System Reporter product of old. This feature is conveniently available under the Systems area of the Main Menu. Tunesys is a management process that rebalances the array and perform housekeeping tasks. Tune System or tunesys makes its debut in SSMC with 2.1 release. I’ll be posting a more in-depth view on Peer Persistence management on Tuesday. Most early adopters of Peer Persistence were relegated to the command line for management, so a GUI interface for management is a welcome change. For shops who can run it, Peer Persistence management is also added in the 2.1 release. With this release, you may create 1:1 remote copy configurations, in addition to just displaying the configuration. Remote Copy replication gets a slew of additions in the 2.1 release.
Domain support is now available in SSMC with the 2.1 release allowing this tool to be doled out for customer management. These are found under the Storage Optimization area in the Main Menu.ģPAR traces its origins to service providers and for this market virtual domains exist within the OS to segment and ensure that customer data does not ever cross boundaries.
Adaptive Optimization and Dynamic Optimization are major features within the 3PAR arsenal and so its no surprise to find them in the new release, however its also a welcome addition. Now in the UI, all of the green/yellow/red donuts have the capabilities and the blue/grey donuts do not as a quick way to know.ĪO and DO are now configurable within SSMC. One capabilities that 2.1 adds is the ability to drill down into the Performance and Device Type donuts. One of the nice features of SSMC is the Dashboard – a quick and easy display of what is good and bad in the 3PAR environment. With the SSMC 2.1 release, HP is answering a lot of those customer requests. The initial release of SSMC was fairly feature rich, but some specific capabilities were missing and HP has received a long list of requests. HP’s new release came to customers on April 30 and it included a lot of great new features that complete the toolset for 3PAR administrators. Moving from version 2.0 to 2.1 may not seem like a big jump, but for users of HP’s new 3PAR StoreServ Management Console, the point release is a big deal.
