Chapter 5. IBM System Storage Management Console
The IBM System Storage Management Console is the focal point for configuration,
copy services management, and maintenance activities.
The management console is a dedicated workstation that is physically located
(installed) inside your DS8100 and DS8300 and can automatically monitor the state
of your system, notifying you and IBM when service is required. The management
console also can be connected to your network to enable centralized management
of your system using the IBM System Storage DS command-line interface or the
storage management software that uses the IBM System Storage DS open API.
The first management console in a storage complex is always internal to the
2107/242x. To provide continuous availability of customer access to the
management console functions, having a second management console is
recommended. This second management console can be provided in two ways:
v External (outside the 2107/242x). This console is generally installed in the
customer-provided rack. It uses the same hardware as the internal management
console.
v
Internal (a second management console that resides within a second 2107/242x).
This console can be cabled together with the primary internal management
console of the first 2107/242x.
The management console is the workstation the DS Storage Manager software is
installed on. This console is used to configure and manage the DS8000 series
system.
Logging onto the management console
The management console must always be left operational. The real-time DS Storage
Manager is available at the management console or through the IBM System
Storage Productivity Center. When logging onto the management console, the
customer initially uses the management console predefined user ID (customer) and
password (cust0mer). After logging in the first time, the customer can choose to
change the password.
The following log on process provides access to the WebSM interface. From this
interface you can change your password or access the DS Storage Manager.
Note: CEs use a different ID and password when using the management console.
1. Slide the management console keyboard/display drawer out from the machine
and raise the panel display.
2. Turn on the console, if necessary, and turn on the display. The login window is
displayed, prompting you to provide your user ID and password. The WebSM
interface window is displayed.
3. Choose what you want to do; access the DS Storage Manager or change your
password.
Note: You cannot use the predefined password after you change it. If you
forget your password, you must contact your IBM service representative
to have the password reset.
