Device Manager - Storage Navigator

Device Manager - Storage Navigator is the GUI that accesses the features in
the firmware. The GUI is also used to set up and monitor the storage system.
It can be installed on a PC, laptop, or workstation. It communicates via a LAN
to the SVP in the storage system. The SVP obtains storage system
configuration and status information and sends user-initiated commands to
the storage system. The Device Manager - Storage Navigator displays
detailed storage system information and allows users to configure and
perform storage operations on the system.
®
Device Manager - Storage Navigator is provided as a Java applet program
that can be executed on any machine that supports a Java Virtual Machine
(JVM). A PC hosting the Device Manager - Storage Navigator software is
called a remote console. Each time a remote console accesses and logs into
the SVP of the desired storage system, the Device Manager - Storage
Navigator applet is downloaded from the SVP to the remote console. The
following figure shows the remote console and SVP configuration for Device
Manager - Storage Navigator.
For more information about Device Manager - Storage Navigator, see the
Hitachi Command Suite Installation and Configuration Guide or the System
Administrator Guide.
