Easy Setup and Management

A simple setup utility lets you quickly configure an array on the network and create a
PS Series group. In minutes, you have a functioning iSCSI SAN. Automation of complex operations like RAID configuration, disk sparing, data provisioning, and load balancing means that even novices can effectively manage the SAN.

You can configure arrays and groups using a serial connection between an array and a console or computer running a terminal emulator. Alternately, Windows systems can run the Remote Setup Wizard to configure an array and set up system access to the SAN. See Host Integration Tools for more information.

Password-protected management accounts enable easy, secure access to the group. Graphical and command line user interfaces provide a single-system view of the storage. Administrators do not need multiple consoles to manage the storage. Using the Group Manager graphical user interface (GUI), creating and managing volumes, configuring security, and setting up event notification are point-and-click operations. The equivalent command line interface (CLI) can be accessed through telnet, SSH, or a serial connection and also used in scripts that are run on servers.
