116 Remote command devices
• TagmaStore™ Workgroup Modular Storage subsystem
• Lightning 9900V series subsystem
• Thunder 9500V series subsystem
• SANRISE Universal Storage Platform subsystem
• SANRISE Network Storage Controller subsystem
• SANRISE Adaptable Modular Storage subsystem
• SANRISE Workgroup Modular Storage subsystem
• SANRISE9900V series subsystem
• SANRISE9500V series subsystem
• SANRISE H12000 subsystem
• SANRISE H10000 subsystem
• SANRISE H1024/H128 subsystem
• You do not need a license for External Storage XP or Flex Copy XP to map command devices as
remote command devices.
• Remote command devices are displayed on External Storage XP’s panes.
As you select an external LU group number in the Device tree on the LU Operation pane, the
information shown in Table 10 appears.
• If you access a remote command device from an OPEN host, the remote command device reports
device information about the command device, which is mapped as a remote command device of the
external array.
Device information about the command device that the remote command device reports to the host
includes:
• Serial number
•Vendor
