–Copy Services

You can use the Copy Services selections of the DS Storage Manager if you chose Real-time during the installation of the DS Storage Manager and you purchased these optional features. A further requirement to using the Copy Services features is to apply the license activation keys. You need to obtain the Copy Services license activation keys (including the one for the use of PAVs) from the Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site.

￿Simulated Manager configuration

You can begin using the simulated mode immediately after logging on to the DS Storage Manager. However, if you want to make your configurations usable you need to obtain the license activation keys from the Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site.

You need to input these activation keys and save them as part of your configuration input. This application provides the ability to create or modify logical configurations when disconnected from the network. After creating the configuration, you can save it and then apply it to a storage unit attached to the network at a later time.

Note: The actual keys are not entered via the Simulated manager, only the capacities. The keys must be entered and applied via the Real-time manager.

A view of the fully expanded Simulated Manager menu choices is shown in Figure 10-14 on page 206.
