Figure 1 Remote Web Console GUI
Emphasis on performance
Operations you perform are executed in the background. This means you can start the next operation
without waiting for the previous one to complete.
Wizards and task management
Wizards are provided for each main task. The wizard guides you through all the sub-tasks that
you would ordinarily perform one-at-a-time. For example, the Create V-VOLs wizard guides you
through a series of screens in which you create the LDEVs for the V-VOLs, then add LUN
paths—which includes selecting LDEVs, selecting host groups, and mapping LUNs.
Remote Web Console also provides a window checking on the tasks you have committed to the
system. The Task window provides detailed information about each task and shows the priority
and status of each task you are tracking.
Reporting
Remote Web Console provides views of various aspects of your storage system. In addition to
these views, you can generate a report for specific areas of the system. Reports can be generated
for a summary of the system data, ports, Channel Adapters, and disk adapters. A total of 20
configuration reports can be generated. Reports are formatted in either CSV or HTML. You see the
reports to find out whether storage system configurations have changed properly.
The Report Configuration Tool enables you to create a configuration report by using a command
prompt. You can automate creation or deletion of configuration reports. To do this, first you should
write script files (.bat files) to create and delete reports, and you should use Windows Task
Scheduler to execute the script files at regular intervals.
Help
Remote Web Console online help provides procedural information for setting up and managing
the storage system. Links to the major storage system tasks, search functions, and glossary are
included.
