Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM User and Reference Guide
Storage Navigator
The Hitachi Storage Navigator software communicates directly with the
Universal Storage Platform V and VM storage systems via a local-area network
(LAN) to obtain storage system configuration and status information and send
user-requested commands to the storage systems. Storage Navigator displays
detailed storage system information and allows users to configure and perform
operations on the Universal Storage Platform V/VM.
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
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
Storage Navigator applet is downloaded from the SVP to the remote console.
Figure 3-5 illustrates remote console and SVP configuration for Storage
Navigator.
For further information on Storage Navigator, refer to the Storage Navigator
User’s Guide (MK-96RD621).
