Using multiple management servers to manage storage systems

If you have configured two or more management servers to manage EVA storage systems, you
can change the management server that is currently managing a specific array.

There can only be one active management server at a time in the SAN. The others are on standby
to provide a high-availability environment. This procedure allows a standby management server
to take over from an active one.

To change the management server managing a storage system:
1.

Log in to HP P6000 Command View on the management server that you want to manage the
storage system.

2.

From the settings point of view navigation pane, select the storage system and click Discover
Storage Systems.

It can take several minutes for all storage systems to appear. The storage system icons in the
Navigation pane are shaded gray to indicate that another server is managing the storage
system.

3.

Select a storage system in the Navigation pane, Unmanaged Storage Systems folder.

The Unmanaged Storage System window opens.

4.

Click OK.

A confirmation dialog box opens.

5.

Click OK.

The storage system is removed from the Unmanaged Storage Systems folder.

In the storage systems point of view, the array icon in the Navigation pane becomes green
to indicate that the server you are logged in to has control of this storage system. The color
change may not happen immediately.
