Storage Navigator GUI displays detailed storage system information and
allows users to configure and perform storage operations on the system.
Storage Navigator is provided as a Java® applet program that can be
executed on any machine that supports a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). A PC
hosting the Storage Navigator software is called a remote console. Each
time a remote console accesses and logs into the SVP of the desired storage
system, the Storage Navigator applet is downloaded from the SVP to the
remote console. Figure 2-6 Storage Navigator and SVP Configuration on
page 2-57illustrates remote console and SVP configuration for Storage
Navigator.
For further information about Storage Navigator, see the Hitachi Storage
Navigator User Guide.
