  • 1.  How to Manually Clear Sims - VSP R700

    Posted 11-09-2021 06:07
    Hi

    I have some Sims for faults that have been fixed that I would like to clear .

    I have found some instructions that mention launching the SVP maintenance from the Actions Folder of Storage Navigator tool but that option does not appear for me.

    I have also tried Actions > Pool > Clear Sims but although the task completed successfully it didnt clear any SIMS.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi Frank,

    If you login on the SVP, as the maintenance user, you should see the WebConsole for Device Manager aka Storage Navigator.
    There is a Maintenance Menu Option, 2nd option at the top left. Click on that and then launch Maintenance Components (General).
    That will bring up the  Java App for the SVP. You might have to check in Internet Explorer, if it doesn't launch automatically.
    By default you will be in "View Mode", so just click on that button, to change it to modify mode.
    Once in "Modify Mode", you can click on "Information", the select "Log", then select "SIM and click on the "List" button.
    From here you can select and mark all SIMS as completed.
    Once you're done, remember to take the SVP out of Modify Mode, back to View Mode, otherwise the array will remain locked for maintenance.

    Kind Regards
    Johann

    That's really helpful, Thank You Johan

    All I need to do now is track down the SVP.

    That should be the same IP that you use to connect to Device Manager (aka Storage Navigator).
    I forgot to mention, that you have to do this via a RDP session to the SVP.

    It's not available when going straight to Device Manager.
