Chapter 9

Communicating Over a Network with

Windows NT and Windows 2000

This chapter introduces you to Command Console’s agent and provides

instructions on how to establish communication over a network. The

instructions include how to install and configure the agent and how to add

storage subsystem host systems to the network using Command Console

Client.

To communicate with your RAID Array 3000 over a network, two software

applications are required: a client and an agent. Command Console Client is a

Graphical User Interface (GUI) which installs and runs on a Windows host,

while Command Console Agent installs and runs unseen in the background on

the storage subsystem’s host computer. The Client was installed in Chapter 6

“Installing Command Console Client and Creating Your First Virtual Disk”.

The Agent is installed in this chapter and together, the two provide the

software link required for communication over a network.
