Update server information to the storage system —Thisoption
sends the server name and IP address to the storage system and,
if needed later on, allows you to update or view this data. For
Windows servers running Navisphere Server Utility version 6.20 or
higher, if the Registration Service feature remains enabled after the
installation of the server utility, the utility will automatically register
theserver’sNICsorHBAswiththestoragesystemandupdate
server information whenever there is a configuration change (for
example, when you mount new volumes or create new partitions).
Verify server high availability (HA) — Allows you to determine if
the server is configured for high availability (HA) by verifying that
theserverhasatleastoneconnectionpathtoeachstoragesystem
SP, and that PowerPath or some other failover software, such as
DMP or PV Links, is running. The utility will not detect any other
native failover software, such as Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager or
Linux native multipath (MPIO).
This feature is currently supported only on CX3–series and CX-series
storage systems and is not available on Solaris iSCSI servers.
Use the snapshot feature — Storage systems running Navisphere
Express can start and stop a snapshot on the source server (server
assigned to the source virtual disk), or can allow or remove access
to the snapshot by the secondary server (server assigned to the
snapshot).
You can run the Navisphere Server Utility from the CD or you can
install it on the servers that are connected to the storage system. We
strongly recommend that you install the utility on each server that is
connected to the storage system.
