Tools for Managing the Disk Array FC60

Note

On Windows NT and Windows 2000, the disk array is managed using the HP
Storage Manager 60
software. See the HP Storage Manager 60 User’s Guide
for information on managing the disk array on Windows NT and Windows 2000.

There are three tools available for managing the Disk Array FC60 on HP-UX: the HP-UX
System Administrator Manager (SAM), Array Manager 60, and Support Tools Manager
(STM). The various management tasks and the tools that can be used to perform them are
shown in

Table 30

.

System Administration Manager (SAM)

The common tasks involved in managing the disk array can be performed using the HP-UX
System Administration Manager, or SAM. This allows you to manage the disk using the
same tool you use to manage your host system.

Not all tasks can be performed using SAM. In general, the more common tasks are available
from SAM while the more advanced tasks are performed using Array Manager 60.

Array Manager 60

Array Manager 60 comprises a set of utilities that provide complete capability for managing
the disk array. In addition to the common tasks available through SAM, Array Manager 60
offers more advanced management capability. Although you will likely use SAM to do
much of the disk array management, you will need to use Array Manager 60 to perform any
tasks that are not supported by SAM.

STM

STM, the Support Tools Manager, provides a third alternative for managing your disk array.
STM can be used to perform many common disk array management tasks. See

"HP-UX

Diagnostic Tools" on page 345

for complete information on using STM.
