Storage complexes
A storage complex is a set of storage units that are managed by management
console units.
You can associate one or two management console units with a storage complex.
Each storage complex must use at least one of the management console units in
one of the storage units. Model 983 provides a second management console.
Management console
The management console supports storage system hardware and firmware
installation and maintenance activities.
The management console is a dedicated processor unit that can automatically
monitor the state of your system, and notify you and IBM when service is
required.
To provide continuous availability of your access to the management-console
functions, use an additional management console (already provided with model
983).
Hardware specifics
The storage system models offer a high degree of availability and performance
through the use of redundant components that can be replaced while the system is
operating. You can use a storage system model with a mix of different operating
systems and clustered and nonclustered variants of the same operating systems.
