About SWCC
21Command Console V2.5 User Guide
Components of SWCC
SWCC includes:
■ Command Console—The Command Console consists of the Navigation tree,
Navigation window, Asynchronous Event Service, and Pager notification.
■ HS-Series Controller Client—The HS-Series Controller Client provides a
Storage window that displays detailed information about a specific
subsystem. From the Storage window, you can manage your subsystem, for
example, by creating virtual disks.
■ CLI Window—You can monitor and configure your subsystem by typing
commands into the Command Line Interpreter (CLI) window. The CLI offers
the same functionality as the Storage window. For more information, refer to
the HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array
Controller Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
■ HS-Series Agent performs the following:
— Obtains the status of the storage connected to the controller.
— Passes the status of the devices connected to the controller to the
Navigation tree, which passes the information to the Storage window.
— Passes the status of the devices connected to the controller to the Event
Viewer.
— Provides email notification. This feature is not available on Windows
2000, Windows NT, or Windows Server 2003.
