Getting started with the DS6000 Storage Manager console
____________________________

Configuration capabilities and the use of the Copy Services features after
the initial installation is dependant on your purchase and the selection you
made during the DS6000 Storage Manager installation.

The following choices are open to you within the DS6000 Storage Manager program:

o The simulated configuration application
o The real-time configuration application with Copy Services

All of the functions that are associated with these applications are not described 
here. If you need help with any of the pages that you open, you can click the question 
mark icon on the tool bar. Page help is displayed in another window along with access 
to an Information Center that contains information about the DS6000.

Consider the following items as first steps in the use of either of these
applications.

Log In -- Logging in to the DS Storage Manager requires that you provide your user name
and password. This function is generally administered through your system
administrator and by your company policies. After logging into DS Storage
Manager, the following DS Storage Manager functions are available to you.

Simulated application -- You can begin using the simulated application immediately 
after logging into the DS Storage Manager. This application provides the ability to 
create or modify logical configurations when disconnected from the network. After 
creating the configuration, you can save it and then apply it to a network attached 
DS6000 at a later time.

Real-time application -- You can use the Real-time application selections of the DS6000
Storage Manager if you chose the real-time or both option during the installation of the
DS6000 Storage Manager and you have you purchased these optional features.

Activate your licesnse(s)  -- Before any configuration can be applied to your DS6000
network, you must activate your license activation codes according to the described
process.

Activate Remote Support -- Optimize the availability of your DS6000. This application enables 
highly-skilled IBM personnel to quickly assist you with problem determination and, with your 
consent, remotely perform certain maintenance procedures.
