Server Linkage Functions

4.4 Server Linkage Functions
The ETERNUS DX supports various functions that are provided by linking with servers.
Examples of linkage functions include a backup function that does not place a load on the server and a func-
tion that can obtain information from the ETERNUS DX and visualize this information without using ETERNUS
Web GUI. These functions enable integrated infrastructure management in a virtual environment.
Note that some of these functions may require installation of plug-ins. Refer to the following site for more

Oracle VM Linkage

"Oracle VM Manager", which is the user interface of the "Oracle VM" server environment virtualization soft-
ware, can manage the ETERNUS DX.
The Oracle VM Storage Connect framework enables Oracle VM Manager to directly use the resources and
functions of the ETERNUS DX in an Oracle VM environment. Native storage services such as Logical Unit Num-
ber (LUN) creation, deletion, expansion, and snapshots are supported.
