command-line interface (DS CLI) or storage management software through the
IBM DS Open API. (The DS8000 Storage Management GUI cannot be started from
the HMC.)
You can also use the DS CLI to control the remote access of your technical support
representative to the HMC.
A secondary management console is available as an optional feature. The
secondary HMC is a redundant management console for environments with
high-availability requirements. If you use Copy Services, a redundant management
console configuration is especially important.
The management console is included with every base frame along with a monitor
and keyboard. An optional secondary management console is also available in the
base frame.
Note: To preserve console function, the management consoles are not available as
a general-purpose computing resource.
