Hardware configuration can be performed in either real-time or simulated mode. When you are connected to storage devices over your network, you can use the Real-time Manager to manage your hardware or configure your storage. When you want to work offline, you can use the Simulated Manager to create or import a DS6000 configuration. This lets you export a configuration you've already created to an unconfigured system when it reaches your site.
