Chapter 1 Overview
This chapter gives an overview of Express.
1.1 Overview of Storage System
A storage system refers to the overall configuration of a system including servers that perform daily transactions and storage that
holds data.
Figure 1.1 Overview Image of Storage System
1.2 Function Overview of Express
Express is designed to make management of ETERNUS Disk storage system easier than by using the GUI.
Express makes storage management less difficult thanks to the following functions:
Easy Configuration and Expansion
This software can be easily configured with the configuration wizard.
Even without prior experience of ETERNUS Disk storage systems configuration and setup, volume creation in ETERNUS Disk storage
system can be done with a wizard. ETERNUS Disk storage systems and volumes can also be added later with only a few clicks in
the wizard.
Express provides the following wizard.
-Storage configuration wizard
-Volume allocation wizard
-Advanced Copy configuration wizard
- 1 -

Easy Operation
What to do, how to do it: operation target and method can be selected directly on the screen in ETERNUS SF Web Console. Therefore,
operation procedures are no longer difficult to understand.
ETERNUS SF Web Console allows Express operation directly from a Web browser.
In this manual, ETERNUS SF Web Console will be referred hereafter as "Web Console".
As several ETERNUS Disk storage systems can be managed, monitored and operated in the same Web Console, it is not necessary
anymore to physically go to the various managed systems locations, switch between browser windows, etc.
With Express, Web Console operation can be performed without having to end the current tasks on the computer.
Easy Troubleshooting
When a problem occurs, the user can determine the cause and scope of the problem before calling to report it.
Easy to understand messages makes it possible to understand the cause of a problem without prior expert storage knowledge.
Advice on how to handle the problem can be displayed by clicking on the message.
Data Copy
Express can execute snapshot copy (SnapOPC+) of the Advanced Copy function of the ETERNUS Disk storage system. The maximum
number of copy sessions that can be executed with the device is as follows:
Device Name Maximum Number of Copy Sessions
ETERNUS DX60/DX60 S2/DX80/DX80 S2/DX90/DX90 S2 8
ETERNUS DX100 S3 1024
ETERNUS DX200 S3
ETERNUS DX200F
2048
Operations can be performed from the Web Console or the Command Line Interface (CLI). The operations through the Web Console
are simple. The CLI allows integration in a script, use of the OS scheduler for preset copy tasks, etc. in a customizable manner.
Performance Management
The use of the Web Console makes it possible to display in a graph the 24-hour performance information of ETERNUS Disk storage
system.
In addition, the command line operation makes it possible to output 1-hour or 24-hour performance information of ETERNUS Disk
storage system into a CSV file.
1.3 System Configuration
Express can manage one or more storage devices.
Express can operate in various system configurations such as the ones described in this section. Since using Express in the IPv6
environment is not supported, use it in the IPv4 environment.
Basic System Configuration
In this configuration, Express's manager and Web Console are operated on the same server.
- 2 -

Figure 1.2 Example of Basic System Configuration
The Express's manager and Web Console can be operated on different servers. In this environment, Web Console accesses to the
Express's manager over the network (HTTPS connection).
System Configuration Using Advanced Copy Function
In Express, the Management Server sends a command to ETERNUS Disk storage system to perform an Advanced Copy function. There
are two available methods for sending the copy command:
-Sending a command to ETERNUS Disk storage system to perform an Advanced Copy function from the server over the SAN (hereafter
referred to as "Copy command via SAN")
-Sending a command to ETERNUS Disk storage system to perform an Advanced Copy function from the server over the LAN (hereafter
referred to as "Copy command via LAN")
The following table describes the requirements for the two copy methods, via SAN or via LAN, for each type of system:
Device Name Copy Command via SAN Copy Command via LAN
Operation Firmware Version Operation Firmware Version
ETERNUS DX60
ETERNUS DX80 A All versions N/A -
ETERNUS DX90 A All versions A (*1) V10L61 or later
ETERNUS DX60 S2 A All versions N/A -
ETERNUS DX80 S2
ETERNUS DX90 S2 A All versions A All versions
ETERNUS DX60 S3
ETERNUS DX100 S3
ETERNUS DX200 S3
A All versions A All versions
- 3 -

Device Name Copy Command via SAN Copy Command via LAN
Operation Firmware Version Operation Firmware Version
ETERNUS DX200F A All versions A All versions
(A=Available, N/A=Not Available)
*1: The acarray add command (ETERNUS Disk storage system registration command) cannot be executed with the -lan option
added.
When using the Copy command via SAN method, a logical volume that can be accessed from the Management Server is needed in
ETERNUS Disk storage system. In this manual, this logical volume is called "access volume". One logical volume of ETERNUS Disk
storage system must be assigned to Management Server as the access volume.
Figure 1.3 Example of System Configuration Using Copy Command via SAN
When using the Copy command via LAN method, no access volume is needed.

Chapter 2 Flow to Operation
This chapter describes the required information before installation.
2.1 Flow from Installation to Operation
The "Figure 2.1 Flow from Installing to Operating Storage System" shows a flow from installation of a storage system to its operation
in Express.
This manual explains the environment configuration, operation and maintenance of Express.
Refer to the following manual for installation and setting up Express.
For Installation of Express:
