  • Page 26: Overview

    NEC Storage Manager consists of server and client functions. The server function operates on a management server, and directly monitors the disk arrays of the NEC Storage series connected through a LAN or FC (Fibre Channel). The client function operates on a PC connected with the management server through a LAN, and provides the user with the monitoring and operation features through the GUI.
  • Page 27 It is recommended that the management server and the NEC Storage disk array should be connected through a LAN. They can also be connected through a fibre channel. In this case, however, if the business server is subjected to a high load, contention may occur between application I/O and performance monitoring, performance optimization, or data replication I/O.
