7.7 Preventative maintenance and data collection
It is essential to regularly monitor the status of the DS4000 or DS5000 storage subsystem in
order to identify potential problems promptly before they become more critical. The IBM
System Storage DS Storage Manager V10.60 client software is ideally suited for this purpose.
In this section, we cover some of the basic monitoring functions.
7.7.1 Storage Manager Enterprise Management window (EMW)
This window is opened when we first launch Storage Manager. It provides a clear indication of
the status of all DS4000 and DS5000 storage subsystems managed from this workstation.
These units may be accessed either out-of-band (via an Ethernet connection) or in-band (via
a Fibre Channel or iSCSI connection).
