Storage Management Utility (SMU) overview
The Storage Management Utility (SMU) is integrated in the MSA array controller
fi
rmware and offers
a graphical user interface (GUI) application for con
fi
guring, managing, and monitoring the MSA
array and its storage. The SMU is accessed through a browser by entering the IP address of the MSA
management port.
Sample tasks include: con
fi
guring iSCSI elements, setting up the management interface, con
fi
guring
the logical units (LUNs), limiting access to the storage, viewing controller and storage setup, viewing
status information, and running diagnostic reports.
The SMU interface includes the following tabs:
•
Wizards—for con
fi
guring a system. The Initial System Con
fi
guration Wizard is the easiest and
simplest method of initially con
fi
guring a system. You are prompted in a logical sequence for
basic storage, iSCSI, logon, and management settings. After completing the wizard, the Con
fi
gure
tab is displayed for entering security settings, information about additional servers, or modifying
settings entered through the wizard. Wizards are best used in single-server environments or other
environments needing bulk storage.
•
Con
fi
gure—for con
fi
guring a system, entering new information, and changing existing settings. When
initially con
fi
guring a system, this tab offers more
fl
exibility than the Wizards tab, and is best for
multi-server environments that need to customize the creation of storage LUNs and targets.
•
View—for viewing detailed con
fi
guration and status information.
•
Diagnose—for generating an XML-formatted diagnostic report.
•
Update—for updating MSA array controller and component
fi
rmware, hard drive storage enclosure
fi
rmware, and hard drive
fi
rmware.
MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) overview
The MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) is integrated in the MSA array controller
fi
rmware and offers
a command level method of con
fi
guring, managing, and monitoring the MSA array and its storage. The
MSA-CLI is accessed locally through a host computer connected to the customized RJ-45Z serial port on
the front of the MSA controller or, remotely through a Secure Shell Connection (SSH) or Telnet.
