HP Virtual SAS Manager HP Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) is embedded in the HP 3Gb SAS BL Switch firmware and is the software application used to create hardware-based zone groups to control access to external SAS storage. Servers in the c-Class enclosure are then granted access to these zone groups, allowing them to access the storage. Available in both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI), VSM offers the following key tasks: • Configure switch parameters • Create zone groups • Assign zone groups to servers • Reset the switch • Update firmware For information on the VSM, see its online help and the HP 3G Virtual SAS Manager user guide, available on the HP 3Gb SAS BL Switch page of the HP Manuals website http://www.hp.com/ support/manuals. The following image shows an example page of the VSM. IMPORTANT: Storage is configured, formatted, and partitioned using software utilities such as the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), HP Storage Management Utility (SMU), and Microsoft Disk Manager. Configuration tools differ for each storage enclosure and operating system environment. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the storage enclosure. 42 Software information
