Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that support the Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Thunder, HDS TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS), and HDS TagmaStore Workgroup Modular Storage (WMS) systems.
Disable the system command LUN when you use the user interface applications.
The Storage Navigator Modular (SNM) is the primary user interface application for configuring HDS Thunder, HDS TagmaStore AMS, and HDS TagmaStore WMS systems. Use SNM to upgrade firmware, change settings, and to create and monitor storage.
SNM supports an Ethernet connection to the system. An out-of-band command-line interface is available with SNM that supports the majority of the functions that are provided in SNM.
HiCommand is another configuration user interface that is available for the HDS Thunder, HDS TagmaStore AMS, and HDS TagmaStore WMS systems. You must have access to SNM to use HiCommand to configure settings. HiCommand only allows basic creation of storage and provides some monitoring features.
HiCommand uses Ethernet to connect to the system.
A Web server runs on each of the controllers on the system. During normal operation, the user interface only allows basic monitoring of the system and displays an error log. If you put a controller into diagnostic mode by pressing the reset button on the controller, the user interface allows firmware upgrades and system configuration resets.
