Network Connections
Using SWCC with a network connection provides you with more features and
flexibility for managing storage subsystems than serial or SCSI connections. A
network connection between a client and agent supports the use of the Navigation
tree, allowing for the management of multiple subsystems from a single
application. The use of an agent enables event logging on the agent host and also
email and pager notification for subsystem events.
A network connection requires that an agent be installed on a host connected to
the storage subsystem. Establishing a network connection requires that a
Command Console LUN or a virtual disk be configured on the storage subsystem.
If the storage subsystem is not properly preconfigured, then a serial connection
must be used to enable the Command Console LUN or to create a virtual disk.
To use SWCC to manage the HS-Series controller over a network, install the
Command Console, the HS-Series device-specific Client (Storage window), and
the HS-Series Agent. The Command Console and the HS-Series Client are
installed together.
To set up SWCC to manage the HS-Series controller over a network:
1. Click Start > Programs > Command Console > StorageWorks CC HSxxx.
The Client displays the Connection Selection window.
2. Choose the Network (TCP/IP).
The Connect Network (TCP/IP) window opens, as shown in Figure 7.
