HP Storage Essentials Storage Resource Management Software Suite Version 6.0 Host Cluster Functionality White Paper

Overview

Given the complexity of customer environments that Storage Essentials Storage Resource Management (SRM) software manages, version 6.0 supports automatic discovery of popular cluster servers and allows management of other non-automatically discoverable clusters through an add-on application within Storage Essentials SRM Enterprise Edition called "Cluster Manager". It is through the combination of automatic and manual recognition that the SRM software is able to cover most of the HA and load balancing clusters that are heavily used in the market today. This white paper discusses how various modules of the Storage Essentials SRM Suite have been enhanced to support clusters from the ground up.
