Hitachi Command Suite; Command Control Interface; Configuration Workflow For Global-Active Device - Hitachi G1000 User Manual

Hitachi Command Suite

The Command Suite (HCS) GUI software enables you to configure and
manage GAD pairs and monitor and manage your global-active device
environment. When one Device Manager server manages both global-active
device storage systems, you can access all required functions for your GAD
setup from the HCS Global-Active Device window.
Disaster recovery procedures are performed using CCI and cannot be
performed using Command Suite.

Command Control Interface

The Command Control Interface (CCI) command-line interface (CLI) software
can be used to configure the global-active device environment and create and
manage GAD pairs. CCI is also used to perform disaster recovery procedures.
