Using Navisphere Manager Software
Navisphere Manager software (Manager) lets you manage multiple
storage systems connected to servers on a TCP/IP network. Manager
offers extensive management features and includes comprehensive
on-line help.
Manager runs on a management station, which is a Windows NT® or
Windows ® 2000 server. The servers connected to a storage system
can run Windows 2000, Windows NT, or a UNIX operating system
such as Sun Solaris. Servers connected to the SAN can run different
operating systems.
The following figure shows Navisphere Manager in a shared
switched environment.
