3 Configuring the Proxy Provider The PSM is a CLI-based MSA storage management software tool that provides simple configuration and management tasks of the proxy providers. The PSM is installed as part of the SMI-S Proxy Provider. The PSM provides the following device management options: • Add a System • Remove a System • Discover Systems • View Systems • Clear Systems • Manage a System • Create a new Manage/Monitor user account • Change the password of an existing user account • Delete a user account • Get or set Provider attributes • Set Proxy Provider Timeout • Set Indication Provider Polling Interval • Set Loglevel Use any of the following methods to launch the PSM: • Click Launch PSM from the installer. • Click the PSM short cut from the desktop. • Execute msapsm.exe from the installation folder. The tool executes as a standalone process. The tool requires Pegasus CIMOM to be installed on the system where it is executed. When the tool starts, PSM prompts for the IP address and the port number where the cimserver is running. A single session of the PSM application is associated with a specific cimserver. To change the cimserver IP, start a new PSM session. The MSA storage device must be added to the cimserver before it can be managed with PSM. First-time configuration MSA2000 G2 devices must be added to the proxy provider repository with PSM before the Proxy Provider can be configured to proxy MSA2000 G2 systems. Ports and the service utility (Windows only) By default, CIMOM listens on two ports - 5989 (to support SSL connections) and 5988 (to support non-SSL connections). For the SSL port, the installer contains a utility, called service, which attempts to use port 5989 for initiating the CIMOM for SSL connection. However, if that port is not available, it will try one of the following ports: 49152, 49153, 49154, 49155. If none of these ports are available, it will exit with an error.
