New Information
As of Release 3 and all follow on releases, the stand-alone version of the DS
Storage Manager can only be installed as the simulated DS Storage Manager and
will only operate in Simulated-mode. Real-time mode is no longer supported or
included for the stand-alone version.
If your installation is at a release prior to Release 3, you can still access the
real-time DS Storage Manager with your remote browser by pointing your browser
at the hardware management console (HMC).
If your installation is at Release 3, the real-time DS Storage Manager is only
accessible through the console at the HMC or through the IBM System Storage
Productivity Center. Accessing the real-time DS Storage Manager at the HMC or
through the IBM System Storage Productivity Center helps to eliminate confusion
when you use the simulated DS Storage Manager.

v You do not need to perform a stand-alone installation to use the real-time DS
