NOTE: If your agent system has only one SCSI port, you can still establish a SCSI
connection with your dual controllers. For more information, refer to the
Hardware
User’s Guide for your operating system and platform.
Connecting Over a Network
To communicate with your storage subsystem over a network, two software
applications are required: Command Console client and Command Console
agent. Client is the Graphical User Interface (GUI), which installs and runs a
Windows NT 4.0 SP4 or Windows 2000 system (minimum level). Agent
installs and runs unseen in the background on the storage subsystem’s host
computer, running Windows NT 4.0 SP6a or Windows 2000 SP1 (minimum
levels.)
Client must be installed before agent. Together the two provide the software
link required for communication over a network. The installation of agent is
covered in the Getting Started RAID Array 3000 Installation Guide for your
operating system and platform. Also refer to online help.
The basic steps for connecting and
communicating over a network:
■ Install and configure Agent on the storage subsystem’s host computer.
■ Check that you have at least one virtual disk created on your storage
subsystem. If necessary, create one using a serial connection to the
RA3000.
■ Select either HSZ22 Storage window (for a single storage subsystem)
or, StorageWorks Command Console (for configuring and monitoring
multiple storage subsystems over a network). Choosing StorageWorks
Command Console displays the Navigation window, a graphical tool for
managing RA3000 subsystems over a network.
