Accessing the Storage Window
You can access the HS-Series Storage window from the Start menu. You can
connect the Storage window to storage over a serial connection, a SCSI
connection, or a TCP/IP network.
Before you can make either a SCSI or a network connection, you must have one
of the following:
■ A virtual disk created on the subsystem
■ Command Console LUN (CCL) enabled
For more information about:
■ Creating a virtual disk, see the section titled "Creating Virtual Disks", page 72
■ Enabling and disabling the CCL, see Appendix A,
■ Accessing the Storage window from the Navigation tree, see the section titled
"Managing Storage Subsystems from the Navigation Tree", page 40
Serial Connections
The simplest connection to a subsystem is a direct cable connection from the
Client’s host system to a serial port on the subsystem. The serial connection is
often used to set the initial configuration of a storage subsystem. This initial
configuration can then allow a SCSI or network connection to the subsystem.
A direct serial connection to a subsystem does not provide as much functionality
as a network connection. The agent is bypassed so that any agent-related function
is not available. These functions include event logging, email, and pager
notification. The Navigation tree is not available with a direct serial connection.
To set up a serial connection:
1. Click Start > Programs > Command Console > StorageWorks CC HSxxx.
The Connection Selection window opens, as shown in Figure 4.
