https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/a-report-to-identify-external-storage-boxes/m-p/3716614#M17836 Is there a report option or approach, using HP SIM 5.0, to create a list of servers whose array controllers are attached to External Storage Boxes? I can see this information by pulling up individual Systems Management Home pages, but I can't seem to see it in Data Collection Reports, or using any of the report options.

Others are being enhanced.<BR /><BR />You may want to check the SMI-S protocols as that seems to be the way storage management is going. <BR /> Tue, 24 Jan 2006 19:11:06 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/a-report-to-identify-external-storage-boxes/m-p/3716615#M17837 Rob Buxton 2006-01-24T19:11:06Z
