26 IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
We recommend to set up and use both methods, if at all possible. This will introduce some
redundancy to your management setup and provide management access to the DS3000
subsystem even in case of I/O path or Ethernet management network failure.
2.4 DS4000 Storage Manager
DS3000 Storage Manager is not the only management tool available for the DS3000
subsystems. You can also use DS4000 Storage Manager V9.23 or higher.
True to its name, this utility was designed to manage the DS4000 subsystems. However,
DS4000 Storage Manager V9.23 and above can also manage DS3000 subsystems.
Figure 2-14 shows a DS4000 Storage Manager’s Enterprise Management Window listing
both a DS4300 and a DS3400.
Figure 2-14 DS4000 Storage Manager - Enterprise Management Window
There are some similarities and also some differences between the DS3000 and DS4000
Storage Manager. The Enterprise Management Windows look similar, but the Subsystem
Management Windows are very different.
An example of the DS3000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management Window is shown in
Figure 2-11 on page 22. Compare this to the DS4000 Storage Manager Subsystem
Management Window (Figure 2-15).
