Storage Provider and Storage Systems, how to change or add another provider?
After making some physical changes in the data center, in VIPR controller the Storage Provider for VMAX1234 is wrong.
In Physical Assets \ Storage Systems \ VMAX1234 shows that its Storage Provider is SMI-S Server 1, I need to change that to SMI-S Server 2 or at least add Server 2 here, if its possible to have more than one Storage Provider under an array.
In Physical Assets \ Storage Providers, both Server 1 and Server 2 are there and both show that they see VMAX1234.
I've rediscovered networks, arrays, etc, and rebooted VIPR, the SMI-S server, rediscovered the fabrics on the CMCNE server etc.
Is the association of Storage Providers under Storage Systems automatic or is there something else I can do?
specific product: vipr controller 2.3.0.1
NB: do not re-add the same server to Storage Providers if it is already there as it will show up as more than one instance of that provider in your list, still haven't found a easy way to remove duplicates.
