Managing SnapDrive
SnapDrive includes features that enable you to perform general SnapDrive management tasks. This chapter describes how you use the SnapDrive management features.
- Managing SnapDrive licenses from MMC
SnapDrive enables you to view, change, or disable your license after you have installed it on your local host, using either Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or the SnapDrive command line interface (sdcli.exe utility). You can also manage licenses on remote hosts if you have added those hosts to your SnapDrive MMC.
- Enabling SnapDrive notification settings
SnapDrive enables you to set up e-mail notification and to enable storage system AutoSupport in the event of a SnapDrive message or storage system error.
- Setting a preferred IP address
You can configure SnapDrive for Windows to use a preferred IP address to properly resolve host names for storage systems having more than one IP address.
- Stopping and starting the SnapDrive service
You can stop or start the SnapDrive for Windows service using MMC.
- Adding and removing initiators with SnapDrive
You can use SnapDrive to add or remove initiators for LUNs created using SnapDrive.
- Administering SnapDrive remotely
You can simplify management of multiple SnapDrive installations using the "Add SnapDrive Server" and "Connect to another computer" features to add and delete remote SnapDrive installations.
