After you have installed the DS8000 Storage Manager, the following results occur:
v Activation of the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager server and the IBM
TotalStorage DS Network Interface server. These servers are set to automatic
startup so that when you start your computer these servers are automatically
activated.
v Activation of the IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Storage Manager application, which
includes the real-time and simulated manager components. Both these
components can be installed on the same machine and are integrated into the
user interface. They are designed to help you create and manage the physical
and logical configurations of your storage complexes, storage units, and storage
images. Plus, the real-time manager component provides you the opportunity to
use the Copy Services features you have purchased.
Real-time manager
This component (preinstalled on the HMC) provides logical configuration and
Copy Services features to a network attached DS8000.
Simulated manager
This component (installed using the IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Storage
Manager installation CD) provides the ability to create or modify logical
configurations when you are disconnected from the network. After creating
the configuration, you can save it and then apply it to a network-attached
DS8000 at a later time.
Installing the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager on the Windows
operating system using the graphical mode
Use the following steps to install the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager in your
Windows environment using the graphical mode. When you are installing on a
DS8000 storage unit, you are generally installing the offline management type. This
management type allows you to plan and construct storage unit configurations
without being connected to the network. However, you cannot use the Copy
Services or parallel access volumes (PAVs) features while disconnected from the
network.
Before you install the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager, verify that the
prerequisite software and hardware are installed on your system. The installation
