Configuration capabilities and the use of the Copy Services features
after the initial installation are dependant on the Operating Environment
License storage amounts that you purchased.
The following components are available to you within the DS6000™ Storage Manager program:
- The Real-time Manager configuration component (with Copy Services)
- The Simulated Manager configuration component
All of the functions that are associated with these components 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 components. You can find additional information about these items
in the
DS6000 Information
Center.
- Log In
- You can log in to the DS6000 Storage
Manager by providing your user name and password. This function is generally
administered through your system administrator and by your company policies.
Note: The
default password that you use the first time (generally the password is admin)
expires immediately. Use the Change password feature
to ensure further access to the GUI. Choose a password that you can easily
remember because the password is not available to your administrator nor is
it retrievable from the system.
- Simulated component
- If you have
installed the DS6000 Storage Manager in Full management console or offline
mode, you can begin using the simulated component immediately after you log
into the DS Storage Manager. This component provides the ability to create
or modify logical configurations when your storage unit is disconnected from
the network. After you create the configuration, you can save it and then
apply it to a network-attached DS6000 at
a later time.
- Real-time component
- You can use the Real-time component selections of the DS6000 Storage Manager if you chose Full Management Console install during
the installation of the DS6000 Storage
Manager. This application provides the ability to work with the logical configuration
and Copy Services features when your storage unit is attached to a DS6000 network.
- Activate your license activation codes
- These codes must be activated before any logical storage configuration
can be applied to your network. The following are examples of licenses that
can be activated depending on your purchase:
- Operating environment license for each storage unit that you own. (This
license must be activated.)
- Copy Services, multiple codes
- Copy Services
- You can use the Copy Services selections of the DS6000 Storage
Manager if you chose the Full Management Console install option during
the installation of the DS6000 Storage
Manager and if you have purchased these optional features.
