SANtricity Unified Manager Security
SANtricity Unified Manager supports the same secure management features as SANtricity System
Manager including LDAP, RBAC, and SSL certificates. For complete details and workflow examples, see
TR-4712: NetApp SANtricity Management Security.
Remote Mirroring with SANtricity Unified Manager
With Unified Manager, you can set up remote mirroring between two EF570/E5700 and/or EF280/E2800
arrays when the arrays used to initiate mirror relationships are running SANtricity 11.50 or later versions.
Both the initiator and target arrays must be discovered and managed by SANtricity Unified Manager, and
the System Manager session for the initiator and target arrays must be launched from SANtricity Unified
Manager. For this workflow, the legacy SANtricity Storage Manager and EMW are not needed. If you
want to mirror between a new E-Series array and a previous generation E-Series array, you must still use
the EMW. For details about the configuration options for new E-Series and EF-Series arrays running
SANtricity 11.50 or later versions, see TR-4656: SANtricity Synchronous and Asynchronous Mirroring.
2.4 SANtricity System Manager
As discussed previously, the NetApp EF570 controller and SANtricity 11.50.x use the on-box browser-
based management interface. However, the legacy SANtricity Storage Manager EMW can still be used
with the EF570-based storage arrays. As a result, the installation flow is similar to legacy E-Series arrays.
You can also elect to use the new SANtricity Unified Manager instead of the EMW if you want to manage
only EF570/EF280, E5700/E2800 storage arrays. The only UI component that is never used with the
EF570 storage systems is the Array Management Window (AMW). The AMW is still used with EF560 and
other legacy E-Series systems. The AMW has been replaced on the EF570 by the embedded, browser-
based SANtricity System Manager UI.
Overview
SANtricity System Manager provides embedded management software, web services, event monitoring,
and AutoSupport for EF570 arrays. Previous arrays that use EF560 or other legacy controllers do not
have this embedded functionality or the new security features introduced with SANtricity System Manager
11.40 and later versions. Because you might have a mixed environment, with both the new EF570
storage array and older E-Series storage arrays, there are various management options. Table 1 provides
an overview of management use cases.
