Configuring the storage subsystem
You must configure the storage subsystem after you install the storage subsystem in a rack. Use the
information in the following sections to configure your storage subsystem.
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 (in-band)
management or direct (out-of-band) management.
Note:
For information about any in-band limitations or restrictions that are associated with particular
combinations of controller and host bus adapter, see the Storage Manager readme file.
For more information about setting up in-band or out-of-band management connections, see the
DS
Storage Manager 10 Installation and Host Support Guide
for the operating system of the host server that you
will use to manage the DS3500 storage subsystem. The document is in the Documentation folder on the
IBM
System Storage DS3500 Support
DVD.
Important:
If the operating system of the host server that the storage subsystem logical drives are
mapped to is not Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, you must make a direct
(out-of-band) 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 host-agent (in-band) management.
Host-agent (in-band) management method:
This method requires that host-agent software be installed on the host server. The host-agent software
enables the Storage Manager software client program to manage the storage subsystem by using the same
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. The client software is installed on the management station. Figure 3-29 on page
3-27 shows the host-agent (in-band) management method.
