Initial setup and configuration of the storage system includes configuring the management client to access the storage system. The management client is LAN-attached to the storage system and communicates with the service processor (SVP) or with the controllers if the storage system does not have an SVP.
Note:
- VSP E990 supports the physical and virtual SVP with full functionality (Device Manager - Storage Navigator, KMIP, and so on).
- VSP E1090, VSP E790, and VSP E590 support only the virtual SVP and only for enabling and administering VVOL/VASA, SMI-S, and KMIP operations.
