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 is required for shared storage and optional for
unshared storage.
Manager runs on a management station which is a Windows NT® or
Windows ® 2000 host. The servers connected to a storage system can
run Windows or one of several UNIX® operating systems. With
shared storage, servers connected to the SAN can run different
operating systems; with direct (unshared direct or
shared-or-clustered) storage, servers connected to the same storage
system must run the same operating system.
The following figures show Navisphere Manager in shared and
unshared environments.
