If the DS5000 storage subsystem is managed through the FC path (in-band management),
and you want to manage it using a workstation with SMclient installed instead of using the
in-band management, you have to specify the IP address of the host attached to the storage
subsystem. The Enterprise Management window with different DS5000 storage subsystems
is shown in Figure 4-32.
Figure 4-32 Enterprise Management window
You can see all detected DS5000 storage subsystems and how they are managed, either
direct (out-of-band) or host-agent attached (in-band), or through both connections. There is
also a status column. Usually, the status is Optimal with a green icon next to it, but if there are
any problems, the status changes to Needs Attention and a red icon is displayed.
Naming or renaming a storage subsystem
If you installed multiple DS5000 systems, or plan to install more than one, it is important to
give each a unique and meaningful name so that you can differentiate it easily from others in
the Enterprise Management window.
