In addition, you can use the Manage Tools page to stop and start local Storage Area Manager
services. This feature provides a convenient method for completely stopping or starting all
services associated with the Storage Area Manager server.
Event Notification
Storage Area Manager and the SMA both have functionality for notifying users when an event
occurs within the SAN. Both can distinguish the severity of SAN events, and both provide
various methods for notifying a designated individual. When Storage Area Manager is
installed on the SMA, these notification systems work independently of each other and
without conflicts. SMA core events (for example, an SMA shutdown) and audit events (for
example, users logging on to the SMA) are not received by Storage Area Manager.
Refer to the Storage Area Manager or the SMA documentation for instructions on setting up
event notification.
Licensing
Storage Area Manager and the SMA use different licensing models that function
independently of each other.
When you install Storage Area Manager, you get a 60-day instant on license for the entire
Storage Area Manager suite. After the 60-day instant on license expires, only those
applications that have permanent licenses will continue to operate. You must acquire
permanent licenses if you want to use any of the remaining applications in the Storage Area
Manager suite. When you need to add licenses, use the Storage Area Manager software, not
the SMA software.
