Management console

A management console is the configuration, service, and management portal for the DS6800.

A management console is required for your DS6800. You must either provide a computer to use as your management console or you can optionally order a computer from IBM. This computer must meet a minimum set of hardware and operating system compatibility requirements. If you order a management console, it is placed as a separate order from the DS6800.

The management console requires the DS Storage Manager software that is provided with your DS6800.
You use the management system to perform the following tasks:
  • Logically configure your DS6000™ series
  • Manage the following functions:
    • Local maintenance
    • Copy services
    • Remote service support and call home
    • Event notification messaging
