StorageWorks Command Console
StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC) is a feature-rich, year 2000 compliant GUI that
provides local and remote management of StorageWorks controllers and hardware interconnect
components. SWCC is a user-friendly tool used to monitor, configure, and troubleshoot storage
subsystems.
SWCC can be connected to your StorageWorks controller in several ways. Once connected, the
SWCC issues commands and interprets the responses sent by the controller. The GUIs display the
logical and physical layout, as well as the status of a selected subsystem.
SWCC consists of two major components, the Client and the Agent.
•
The Client:
•
Includes the user interface
•
Includes additional services
•
Provides a window into your storage subsystems
•
The Agent:
•
Is a host-resident program
•
Is an interface that interprets and transfers data between the Client and the host storage
controller
Storage Software and High Availability Support
High availability in the EBS is provided by way of the StorageWorks Secure Path software
product on NT platforms. TruCluster Available Server software for Tru64 also provides high
availability for the EBS but is supported in a LAN attached cluster configuration only.
Secure Path
StorageWorks Secure Path is a high availability software product providing continuous data
access for the RA8000 and the ESA12000 storage products configured on Windows NT
platforms. Redundant hardware, advanced RAID technology and automated failover capability
enhance fault tolerance and availability.
Secure Path effectively eliminates controllers, interconnect hardware, and host bus adapters as
single points of failure in the storage system.
Secure Path enables the dual HSG80 controllers in the storage subsystems to operate in the
active/active Multiple-Bus failover mode. This failover mode allows each controller to be
configured on its own bus and to process I/O independently under normal operation.
