You
must
implement
the
DS
Open
API
through
the
IBM
TotalStorage
Common
Information
Model
(CIM)
agent,
a
middleware
application
that
provides
a
CIM-compliant
interface.
The
DS
Open
API
uses
the
CIM
technology
to
manage
proprietary
devices
as
open
system
devices
through
storage
management
applications.
The
DS
Open
API
allows
these
storage
management
applications
to
communicate
with
a
storage
unit.
DS
command-line
interface
The
IBM
TotalStorage
DS
Command-Line
Interface
(CLI)
enables
open
systems
hosts
to
invoke
and
manage
FlashCopy
and
Metro
and
Global
Mirror
functions
through
batch
processes
and
scripts.
The
command-line
interface
provides
a
full-function
command
set
that
allows
you
to
check
your
storage
unit
configuration
and
perform
specific
application
functions
when
necessary.
Note:
Before
you
can
use
the
DS
CLI
commands,
you
must
ensure
the
following:
v
Your
Storage
Management
Console
must
be
equipped
with
the
DS
Storage
Manager
graphical
user
interface
(GUI).
v
The
GUI
must
have
been
installed
as
a
Full
Management
Console
installation
management
type.
v
Your
storage
unit
must
be
configured
(part
of
DS
Storage
Manager
postinstallation
instructions).
v
You
must
activate
your
license
activation
codes
(part
of
DS
Storage
Manager
postinstallation
instructions)
before
you
can
use
the
CLI
commands
associated
with
Copy
Services
functions.
v
You
cannot
install
the
DS
CLI
on
a
Windows
64-bit
operating
system.
The
following
list
highlights
a
few
of
the
specific
types
of
functions
that
you
can
perform
with
the
DS
command-line
interface:
v
Check
and
verify
your
storage
unit
configuration
v
Check
the
current
Copy
Services
configuration
that
is
used
by
the
storage
unit
v
Create
new
logical
storage
and
Copy
Services
configuration
settings
v
Modify
or
delete
logical
storage
and
Copy
Services
configuration
settings
