Connections Supported by SWCC
SWCC manages storage by using Storage windows. Storage windows are
device-specific clients that communicate with storage devices either directly or
through an agent. Storage windows are used to configure and monitor storage
arrays. An agent is connected to storage controllers, which the agent configures
and monitors.
There are several different types of connections used by the clients to
communicate with storage controllers and agents.
SWCC provides storage management over the following connections, as listed in
Table 5:
■ Direct Serial connection
■ SCSI connection
■ Storage Area Network (SAN) and TCP/IP network
* If you do not install Agent, you cannot use the Navigation tree or Pager notification.
** SCSI over Fibre Channel is available with HSG60 and HSG80 controllers.
Note: SWCC does not support the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or
the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).
To determine whether your system is using DHCP or WINS on Windows NT 4.0:
1. Right-click Network Neighborhood on the desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. Click the Protocols tab.
4. Select TCP/IP, and then click Properties. The Microsoft TCP/IP Properties
window opens.
