ResourceManagerStorageNavigator

• Storage Navigator shows systemconfiguration and status information andsends administrator commands to theST9990 and ST9985 storage systems.

> With included Java agents it can be run frommost browsers.

> Storage Navigator is the user interface formost Resource Manager functions


ResourceManagerLUNManagement Tools• LUN Manager streamlines configuration management

processes by enabling you to define, configure, add, delete,revise and reassign LUNs to specific paths without having tore-boot your system. Because LUN Manager can assignmultiple paths to a single LUN, you gain the necessaryinfrastructure to support alternative path failover, path loadbalancing and clustered systems.

• LUSE allows LUN expansion by creating virtual expandableLUs out of groups of physical ones.

• VLVI Manager optimizes storage system capacity utilizationby allowing users to create custom sized logical volumes ofinformation. VLVI Manager software improves performanceby reducing logical device contention and operating systemqueuing. It also boosts remote copy performance byeliminating the need to copy large volumes of information thatare only partially used.

• Customized Volume Size and Open Customized VolumeSize (OCVS) are facilities that allows the creation of smallhigh-performance LUNs in mainframe and open environments

D1 D2 D3 P


ResourceManagerLUNManager/Virtual LUN/LUNExpansionHow does it work?

> Defines array groups on the service processor using RemoteConsole

– Allows for manipulation of:> Open Ks (1.9 GB)

> Open 3s (2.4 GB)

> Open 8s (7.3 GB)

> Open 9s (7.3 GB)

– Creates extended LUNs by aggregating Open 9s,Open 3s or Open Ks

– Configure custom-sized LUNs which are smaller than standard LUNsizes (LUN Carving).

– Assigns SCSI paths, LUN #, SCSI ID, fibre path to the LUNs


ResourceManagerData RetentionUtility• Data Retention Utility for Open and for z/OS software provides WORM

(Write Once Read Many) capabilities on ST99XX disk storage systems in opensystems and mainframe environments.> Lock down archived data to make it non-erasable and non-rewritable,> Protect sensitive information and help facilitate compliance with

government and industry regulations.> Eliminate the need for dedicated storage units for compliance

> Use with TrueCopy or ShadowImage replication technologies forenhanced data protection

• Feature Highlights

> Assigns read-only/write-only access permission to logical volumes instorage systems

> Allows users to assign access attributes to logical volumes

> Provides an application programming interface (API) for openenvironments and performs subsystem functions for mainframeenvironments

> Allows administrators to specify data retention periods

> Offers audit lock capabilities, which “freeze” the environment so no datacan be released until an audit is completed

> Uses the volume shredding engine in the ST9990 andST9985 microcode

> Volumes can be shredded (un-readably erased) as theyare de- or re-allocated from Resource Manager or otherST99XX products.

> Volume Shredder can be configured to overwrite avolume with alternating patterns of all 1’s or all 0’s from 3to 8 times, depending on requirements

> Available for both open and mainframe systems


ResourceManager – LUNSecurityVolumeSecurity Port Option andSANtinel• SANtinel™ SAN security software helps ensure security in

open systems storage area networking environmentsthrough restricted server access. With SANtinel you candeny access to unauthorized users and safeguard yourmission-critical information.

• Volume Security Port Option performs the same function forMainframe environments

• What does it do for you?> Protects access to information by allowing secure

access to assigned storage> Simplifies environment by consolidating multiple hosts

on a single array while ensuring access security> Enables consolidation of heterogeneous files (Windows,

UNIX, Linux, Mainframe)• How does it work?

> Enables the arrays to hide LUNs assigned to one hostfrom another

> Security at the Host Storage Domain level

ResourceManagerPerformanceMonitor – Basic PerformanceMonitoring

Resource Manager’s Performance Monitor provides detailed, in-depthstorage performance monitoring and reporting of ST99XX storagesystems including drives, logical volumes, processors, cache, portsand other resources.

What does it do for you?– Provides the information necessary to allow you to optimize

storage operations– Helps organizations ensure that that they achieve and maintain

their service level objectives for performance and availability, whilemaximizing the utilization of their storage assets

– Assists in-depth troubleshooting and analysis to reduce the time toresolve storage system performance problems

How does it work?– Provides subsystem performance information and trend analysis– Monitors hardware performance, cache usage, and I/O statistics– Displays real-time and historical data as graphs– Dynamically changes write cache


ResourceManager -Cache ResidencyManager andCacheManagement Host Agent• Cache Residency Manager allows users to "lock" and

"unlock" data into cache in real time to optimizeaccess to your most frequently accessed data.

• Cache Management Host Agent provides the samecapabilities for mainframe environments.

• What do they do for you?> Protects availability to mission critical

information> Enhances access performance to key

applications is maximized

• How do they work?> Increases access speed by accessing data out of

• Insert the CD-ROM disk into a PC.• From the PC, transfer the installation JCLs to a host machine.

Using ASCII mode, transfer from the PC to a host machine the JCL forallocating space for the data sets on the CD-ROM that are to betransferred (YKAGALLO), and the JCL for allocating space for andextracting the data sets to be executed (YKAGINST).

• Edit the jobs transferred in step 2 to match your installationenvironment.For details, see the header comments in the JCLs.

• Create space for the data sets to be transferred (execute theYKAGALLO job).Execute the YKAGALLO job that you edited to match the installationenvironment, which creates the sequence and the data set space fortransferring the Mainframe Agent object archive and the REXXalternate library archive to the host machine.

• From the PC, transfer in binary mode the Mainframe Agent objectarchive and the REXX alternate library archive to the transferdata set space allocated on the host machine.You need to transfer the REXX alternate library archive only if youplan to install a REXX alternate library.

• Extract objects and libraries to the space allocated for theexecution data sets.Execute the YKAGINST job that you edited to match the installationenvironment, which allocates the execution data set space, andextracts the objects and libraries from the transfer data set archives tothe execution data set space.
