User interface on the Hitachi TagmaStore AMS 2000 family of systems

Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that support the Hitachi TagmaStore AMS 2000 family of systems.

In-band configuration

Disable the system command LUN when you use the user interface applications.

Storage Navigator Modular GUI

The Storage Navigator Modular (SNM) is the primary user interface application for configuring members of the Hitachi TagmaStore AMS 2000 family of systems. Use SNM to update firmware, change settings, and to create and monitor storage.

SNM supports an Ethernet connection to the system. An out-of-band command-line interface is available with SNM that supports the majority of the functions that are provided in SNM.

HiCommand

HiCommand is another configuration user interface that is available for the Hitachi TagmaStore AMS 2000 family of systems. You must have access to SNM to use HiCommand to configure settings. HiCommand only allows basic creation of storage and provides some monitoring features.

HiCommand uses Ethernet to connect to the system.

Web server

A web server runs on each of the controllers on the system. During normal operation, the user interface only provides basic monitoring of the system and displays an event log. If you put a controller into diagnostic mode by pressing the reset button on the controller, the user interface provides firmware updates and system configuration resets.
