You can open the DS Storage Manager using
the Programs list. The DS Storage Manager opens

the DS Storage Manager, verify that the DS Storage Manager server and IBM
System Storage™ DS
Network server are running. From the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative
Tools, then Services.
Note: The DS Storage Manager times out
after a 2 hour period of inactivity (no page requests or refreshes) or when
you turn off your computer. If your session is inactive for 2 hours, the session
will expire and you will be required to sign on again. Any open pages will
be closed, and any wizards that have not been submitted will need to be restarted
from the beginning.
