Hi, after two days of testing:
- We would prefer if ssmc displayed names of sets, vvs etc. without line-wrapping in the left area. Trim the last characters like IMC did if necessary, but please don't clutter the interface with wrapped around strings! One element - one line!
Agreed, tracking this for a future release.

- As the left navigation pane often displays everything from every systems (e.g. CPGs) when you click there for the first time, everything automatically created sucks: we have 18 3PAR systems, so there are lots of CPGS that are all called the same ("FC_r1", "FC_r5", etc), and the CPGs we actually use are spread among them. Especially with dedup on systems with more the 64TB, you can't just use this automatically provisioned cpgs (you need a new cpg for every 64TB), and on systems you bought with InformOS prior to 3.1.2 you already had your CPGs when this cpgs (FC_r1 etc.) showed up. Same with VV-Sets: In the VV-Set-Part, we have to click "load more" very often until we see all of them. The 200+ "RCP_xxx"-VVSets don't help at all in this regard. It's a neat idea to help new customers get a system up and running, but it would really be cool if there was a checkbox "hide all that automatically created stuff like cpgs and vv-sets".
You can delete any system defined CPGs if there are not used remove them
. There will improvment in future releases on AFA configurations. I think you have been provided wrong information around 64TB and dedup, that is not what you should be doing, feel free to ping me offline if you need more information. The RCP_xxx is something that we will give more control over so like the CPGs you will be able to remove them, today you cannot. I need to understand better they use case for wanting to load all items in one go, why are you doing that?

- We would prefer alphabetically ordered drop down lists. We have no idea how the actual sorting works. Newly added systems appeared on places 3 and 5 in the drop down list, but places 3 and 4 in the left list in the systems-section (when "All Systems" is selected in drop down list). Places 3 and 4 are correct when ordering alphabetically.
good catch,we have to improve this.

- The "Systems" drop down lists acts "additive", so for changing systems you always have to click twice - select the new one, deselect the old one. And then one more click to make the drop down list disappear. How about adding a little "+" in front of system names? Clicking that --> "add to selection" and let menu stay visible, clicking the system name --> "change to that system" and close drop down menu.
the change will have to be consistent with how other products work, it's a good suggestion and I will bring this up.

- We like the "historical capacity"-chart very much. We'd like to create/have an own dashboard with this chart from every system all next to each other. Maybe with separated drive geometries in different colors??
We have great plans for the SSMC SR capabilities, right now our goal it to make sure you can do all that External System Reporter allows you, then we will implement a tone of cool features that are on our roadmap.

- As soon as we click on "ports", we get an error "Your network connection may have been lost or the 3PAR StoreServ server may be down". The Ports-Section therefore does not work at all for us.
I have had this reported by another two users, and until know we have narrowed it down to chrome extension. I really want to get the logs, so if you can collect them and send them to
ivan.iannacconr@hp.com it would be great.
