Configuring
the
storage
subsystem
You
must
configure
the
storage
subsystem
configuration
after
you
install
the
storage
subsystem
in
a
rack.
Use
the
information
in
the
following
sections
to
configure
your
storage
subsystem
configuration.
Storage
subsystem
management
methods
Before
you
configure
the
storage
subsystem,
determine
which
method
of
storage
subsystem
management
you
want
to
use.
You
can
manage
the
storage
subsystems
in
either
of
two
ways:
host-agent
management
or
direct-management.
Note:
If
the
operating
system
of
the
host
server
that
the
storage
subsystem
logical
drive(s)
is
mapped
to
is
not
the
Microsoft
®
Windows
NT
®
platform,
you
have
to
make
an
out-of-band
direct
management
connection
to
the
storage
subsystem
to
set
the
correct
host
type
first.
Then,
the
server
will
be
able
to
recognize
the
storage
subsystem
correctly
for
in-band
management.
Host-agent
management
method
This
method
requires
host-agent
software
that
is
installed
on
the
host
server.
The
host-agent
software
allows
the
DS4000
storage
manager
client
program
to
manage
the
DS4000
storage
subsystem
using
the
same
fibre
channel
connections
between
the
host
server
and
the
storage
subsystem.
You
must
install
at
least
one
management
station
and
a
software-agent
host.
The
management
station
can
be
the
host
or
a
workstation
on
the
Ethernet
network.
A
management
station
will
have
the
client
software
installed.
Figure

on
page

shows
the
host-agent
management
method.
