22 IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
Figure 2-11 Subsystem Management Window
You install SMclient on the management station. This is usually not one of the host servers,
but rather a workstation which belongs to a system administrator. However, it is also possible
to install SMclient on a host server. Figure 2-11 shows a sample Subsystem Management
Window.
SMclient is available for Windows and Linux® operating systems.
SMcli Command Line Interface
Besides providing GUI for the management tasks, SMclient also includes a component called
SMcli. SMcli provides a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI). All the tasks available in the
Storage Manager GUI can also be run using the CLI. In addition, there are certain tasks
which are only available in the CLI, but not in the GUI. There are two ways to use the CLI:
SMcli executable, which runs the CLI commands from the operating system command
prompt.
Script Editor in the DS3000 Storage Manager, launched from the Enterprise Management
Window.
You can either run a single command at a time, or execute pre-written scripts. See
Appendix C, “CLI” on page 539 for more information on the CLI and Script Editor.
