HP StorageWorks Command View SDM acts as a centralized management platform through a common user interface from which the value-added software solutions can be launched. Command View scalability ranges from management of a single array to multiple arrays all from a single management console. Command View SDM provides customers with a choice of user interfaces: GUI, CLI or web-browser. Included in Command View SDM is event/trap forwarding capabilities to network management frameworks enabling network administrators to be aware of any changes in their storage environment. Customers can also link with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) for initial consolidation of their storage and server environments. Command View SDM supports the emerging SMI-S storage standard reducing manual integration for basic management capabilities.

Command View has been integrated with higher level management frameworks such as OpenView Storage Area Manager for SAN management, OpenView Network Node Manager, CA Unicenter TNG, BMC Patrol, and Tivoli NetView. These integrations empower the network administrator by providing the ability to manage HP storage devices from the customer's network management console.

HP StorageWorks Command View SDM is available through HP SIM from the Tools & Links tab on the System Page. Refer to System Page - Tools & Links Tab for information on accessing the System Page.
