Ways to administer the storage system
The system administration tasks described in this guide apply to all VSP Gx00 models
and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600, F800 storage systems, including those
with NAS modules.
Users with storage systems that do not have NAS modules use Hitachi Storage Advisor
(HSA), Device Manager - Storage Navigator, and the maintenance utility to administer
block operations. If your storage system includes NAS modules, use NAS Manager to
administer
file
operations, and then use the maintenance utility to verify that the
settings are synchronized with block operations.
For more information about administration tasks for
file
operations, see the following

You can also perform some administration tasks from a command line. For information,
see Command Control Interface User and Reference Guide (MK-90RD7010) and the
Command Control Interface Command Reference (MK-90RD7009), which you can access
from the Documentation page of NAS Manager.
Overview of Storage Advisor
Hitachi Storage Advisor is a
unified
software management tool that reduces the
complexity of managing storage systems by simplifying the setup, management, and
maintenance of storage resources.
Storage Advisor reduces infrastructure management complexities and enables a new
simplified
approach to managing storage infrastructures. It provides intuitive graphical
user interfaces and recommended
configuration
practices to streamline system
configurations
and storage management operations. You can leverage Storage Advisor to
easily provision new storage capacity for business applications without requiring in-
depth knowledge of the underlying infrastructure resource details. It provides centralized
management while reducing the number of steps to
configure,
optimize, and deploy new
infrastructure resources.
Some of the key Storage Advisor capabilities include:
■
Simplified
user experience for managing infrastructure resources. Visual aids enable
easy viewing and interpretation of key management information, such as used and
available capacity, and guide features to help quickly determine appropriate next
steps for a given management task.
■
Recommended system
configurations
to speed initial storage system setup and
accelerate new infrastructure resource deployments.
