76 IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
2.7 Management and support tools
The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node system can be managed through the IBM Flex
System Management Node (FSM), or by using the native management software that runs in
the hardware itself.
The FSM simplifies storage management in the following ways:
Centralizes the management of storage network resources with IBM storage
management software.
Provides greater synergy between storage management software and IBM
storage devices.
Reduces the number of servers that are required to manage your software infrastructure.
Provides higher-level functions.
2.7.1 IBM Assist On-site and remote service
The IBM Assist On-site tool is a remote desktop-sharing solution that is offered through the
IBM website. With it, the IBM service representative can remotely view your system to
troubleshoot a problem.
You can maintain a chat session with the IBM service representative so that you can monitor
this activity and either understand how to fix the problem yourself or allow the representative
to fix it for you.
Remote Copy consistency

Total Metro Mirror and Global
Mirror volume capacity per I/O
group
1024 TB This limit is the total capacity for
all master and auxiliary
volumes in the I/O group.

FlashCopy targets per source 256 -
Cascaded Incremental
FlashCopy maps
4 A volume can be the source of
up to four incremental
FlashCopy maps. If this number
of maps is exceeded, then the
FlashCopy behavior for that
cascade becomes
non-incremental.
