Configuring the Hitachi Device Manager connection
With SAIN systems only, HCP can push information to Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM), so you can monitor and manage HCP along with your other Hitachi storage systems from a single console. You use the HDvM page in the HCP System Management Console to configure and test the connection between HCP and HDvM.
You can configure HCP to automatically push the information. You can also manually request a push at any time.
To display the HDvM page, in the top-level menu of the System Management Console, select .
The HDvM page shows the date and time HCP last pushed information to HDvM and the HDvM response to that action. If the last attempt to push information was unsuccessful, the panel also shows the time of and response to the last successful push.
For information about using HDvM, see the applicable HDvM documentation.
