The DS Storage Manager is installed using a graphical or silent
mode for the Windows® operating
systems. It can be accessed using a Web browser from any location that has
network access.
You can choose to install the IBM
® TotalStorage
® DS Storage Manager
on the Windows operating system using either of the following
modes:
- Graphical mode – allows you to use an online wizard that guides you through
the installation process providing prompts and information needed to complete
the installation.
- Unattended mode (also called silent mode) – allows you to customize a
response file and issue a command to complete the installation process.
After you have installed the
DS6000 Storage
Manager, the following results occur:
- Activation of the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager server and the IBM TotalStorage DS
Network Interface server. These servers are set to automatic startup so that
when you start your computer these servers are automatically activated.
- Activation of the DS Storage Manager application, which includes the real-time
and simulated manager applications. These applications can both be installed
on the same machine and are integrated into the user interface. They are designed
to help you create and manage the physical and logical configurations of your
storage complexes, storage units, and storage images. Plus, the real-time
manager application provides you the opportunity to use the Copy Services
features that you have purchased.
