The storage system management GUI operates only when there is an online
system. Use the service assistant if you are unable to create a system or if both
node canisters in a control enclosure are in service state.
The service assistant does not provide any facilities to help you service expansion
enclosures. Always service the expansion enclosures by using the management
GUI.
The service assistant provides detailed status and error summaries, and the ability
to modify the World Wide Node Name (WWN) for each node.
You can also perform the following service-related actions:
v Collect logs to create and download a package of files to send to support

are performed is also the node canister that the browser is connected to and you
lose your connection, reconnect and log on to the service assistant again after
running the tasks.
