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.
