Managing SnapDrive
SnapDrive includes features that enable you to perform general SnapDrive management tasks.
- Managing host-side SnapDrive licenses
You can view, change, or disable your SnapDrive license after you have installed it on your local host, using either the SnapDrive MMC snap-in or the SnapDrive command line interface (sdcli.exe command). 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
If your storage system has more than one IP address, you can configure SnapDrive for Windows to use one of those addresses as the preferred IP address for management traffic.
- 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.
