Introduction to Data Replication Manager 1–9
Software Components
This section describes the software components necessary to configure and manage a DT
storage subsystem. For installation instructions, see the Configuration chapter. The
following list shows the software required to enable Data Replication Manager:
■ Array Controller Software (ACS) Version 8.5P
■ Secure Path Version 2.2 (Required for Windows NT)
■ Storage Works Command Console (SWCC) Version 2.2 (optional)
Array Controller Software
The HSG80 Array Controller Software (ACS) is the software component of the HSG80
array controller subsystem. ACS software executes on the HSG80 controller and
processes I/O requests from the host, performing the device level operations required to
satisfy the requests.
Secure Path
Secure Path is server-based software that enhances the StorageWorks RAID dual-ported
storage subsystem by providing automatic error recovery from server-to-storage
subsystem connection failures. Secure Path allows you to add redundant Fibre Channel
paths between Windows NT hosts and a RAID storage subsystem, improving overall data
availability. If any component in the path between the host and storage subsystem fails,
Secure Path immediately redirects all pending and subsequent I/O requests from the failed
path to an alternate path, preventing an adapter, cable, or controller failure from disrupting
data access.
For more information on Secure Path, refer to the SecurePath for Windows NT Installation
Guide.
StorageWorks Command Console (optional)
StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC) provides local and remote management of
StorageWorks controllers and their attached storage. SWCC consists of two major
components: the SWCC client and the SWCC agent. SWCC can be used to configure and
manage the DT storage subsystem.
The SWCC client is a graphical user interface (GUI) that runs on a local host and displays
the logical and physical layout and status of a selected subsystem in graphical form.
