Configuring the storage subsystem
You must configure the storage subsystem configuration after you install the storage
server in a rack. Use the information in the following sections to configure your
storage subsystem configuration.
Storage subsystem management methods
Before you configure the storage subsystem, determine which method of storage
subsystem management you want to use. You can manage the storage subsystems
in either of two ways: host-agent management or direct-management.
Important: If the operating system of the host server that the storage subsystem
Host-agent management method
This method requires host-agent software that you install on the host server. The
host-agent software allows the FAStT storage manager client program to manage
the FAStT storage subsystem using the same fibre channel connections between
the host server and the storage subsystem. You must install at least one
management station and a software agent host. The management station can be
the host or a workstation on the Ethernet network. A management station will have
the client software installed. Figure 22 on page 32 shows the host-agent
management method.

lit if another unit in the drive loop has the same ID setting as the server ID.

logical drive(s) is mapped to is not Microsoft Windows NT, you have to
make an out-of-band direct management connection to the storage
subsystem to set the correct host type first. Then, the server will be
able to recognize the storage subsystem correctly for in-band
management.
