Storage Management Service 149
Migrating from Array Manager to the Storage
Management
If you replace an existing Array Manager installation with Storage
Management, the following migration considerations apply:
• Virtual Disk Preservation: You can preserve the virtual disk names when
migrating from Array Manager to Storage Management. To do so, however,
you must not uninstall Array Manager prior to installing Storage
Management. If Array Manager is uninstalled prior to installing Storage
Management, then Storage Management will rename the virtual disks
created with Array Manager. Whether or not Array Manager is uninstalled,
Storage Management will be able to identify and manage the virtual disks
created with Array Manager.
•
SNMP Traps: The architecture for handling the SNMP traps and the
Management Information Base (MIB) is different in Storage Management
than Array Manager. You may need to modify applications that have been
customized to receive SNMP traps from Array Manager.
•
Event Numbering: The numbering scheme for Storage Management
alerts or events is different than the numbers used for the corresponding
Array Manager events. See the Storage Management online help for more
information.
Storage Management Command Line Interface
See the Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide for
information about running the Storage Management Service from the
command line. If you have the Storage Management installed, you can also
refer to the online help for information about the expanded omreport and
omconfig command line options.
