Direct management method
This method uses Ethernet connections from a management station to each
controller. You must install at least one management station. The management station
can be the host or a workstation on the Ethernet network. A management station will
have the client software installed. Attach Ethernet cables to each management station
(one pair per storage server). You will connect the cables to each controller later when
you install the storage server. The following illustration shows the direct management
method.
