SNMP support ensures compliance with all major systems management platforms

Hitachi Resource Managersupports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is the most widely used network management protocol in the marketplace. System Information Messages (SIMs) are converted to SNMP Management Information Blocks (MIBs) for use with Hitachi Resource Managersoftware, or the VERITAS® Storage Manager, Tivoli®, CA Unicenter TNG, HP® OpenView®. With CA Unicenter TNG, “super MIBs” allow the control of the Lightning 9900using CA Unicenter commands. This out-of-band6reporting format ensures that Hitachi Resource Manager9000 can determine the status of your Lightning 9900storage system even if the data channel path is down.

Hitachi Graph-Tracktakes the guess-work out of performance management

As the cornerstone of the software utilities of the Hitachi Resource Manager9000 software suite, the Hitachi Graph-TrackGUI is widely recognized as user friendly. Icons and pull-down menus define and display data, while point-and-click capabilities and on-line help further enhance its ease of use. All Hitachi Graph-Trackdata can be exported in several formats quickly and effortlessly, for use in other data analysis and reporting programs.

Hitachi Graph-Trackgives users a more reliable and centralized way to manage performance. Available for S/390®, UNIX®, and Windows NT/2000® environments, this unique tool monitors hardware performance and supplies complete system storage

6“Out of Band” refers to the path that system management messages travel which is a different path from the data. “In band” messages would compete with data for bandwidth.

With Hitachi LUN Manager, open systems Logical Units LUNs can be defined, configured, and maintained. There is no more waiting for the hardware vendor to come and make configuration changes. Hitachi LUN Manager includes an easy-to-use, GUI-basedinterface that allows the easy definition of paths for LUNs, the reconfiguration of LUN-to-portassignments, or the viewing of the Lightning 9900 remote service information messages. Because the Hitachi LUN Manager can assign multiple paths to a single LUN, support of alternate path failover, path load balancing, and clustered systems is possible. Running on a standard Windows-basedPC connected to the storage subsystems by a dedicated LAN, Hitachi LUN Manager can support up to eight Lightning 9900 systems Hitachi CruiseControl Hitachi Data SystemsHitachi SANtinel Storage MaximizerHitachi Data Systems Professional Services Overview Professional Services and SupportData Protection Services Cost of Risk Analysis methodology CORARemote Copy Assessment and Implementation Service Data Protection Services LabHitachi NanoCopy Implementation Service Hitachi Data SystemsContinuous Availability Service Professional Services and SupportOn-lineData Migration Service SAN servicesHitachi Data Systems Software Portfolio Review and Analysis Servicethe Performance Experiment System Configurations forThe 7700E used all 6GB drives Hitachi Data Systems10BaseT Glossary of Terms100BaseT ACP pairAvailability Hitachi Data SystemsBack end Business Continuity Planning BCPCARB GlossaryCache CHIPConsistency Groups Hitachi Data SystemsControl Frame CORA Cost of Risk AnalysisGlossary Disaster RecoveryData Duplication Data MigrationEBCDIC Hitachi Data SystemsElectronic vaulting ESA/390Failover GlossaryFast Ethernet Fast writeHitachi Data Systems File BackupFICON Front EndGlossary Hitachi FlashAccessHDmS Hitachi CruiseControlHitachi Data Systems Hitachi Multiplatform Backup/RestoreHitachi InstantSplit Hitachi LUN ManagerGlossary Hitachi Rapid RecoveryHitachi Resource Manager Hitachi SANtinelHXRC Hitachi Extended Remote Copy Hitachi Data SystemsHYPERtape JavaGlossary Logical VolumeLightning 9900 Series Logical UnitMBCP Hitachi Data SystemsMIPS Meta-dataMTBF GlossaryMTTR NanoCopyOn-linesystem Hitachi Data SystemsOpen system Operating SystemGlossary Recovery TimeRAID RAID ControllersHitachi Data Systems SwitchSCSI SnapshotVolume Virtual Logical Volume Image ManagerGlossary SynchronousWarm site Hitachi Data SystemsWorkload Corporate Headquarters Hitachi Data Systems Worldwide OfficesAsia Headquarters Australia/New Zealand Headquarters
