Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that support the Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Thunder, Hitachi AMS 200, AMS 500, and AMS 1000, WMS100, and HDS TagmaStore Workgroup Modular Storage (WMS) systems.
Disable the system command LUN when you use the user interface applications.
The Storage Navigator Modular (SNM) is the primary user interface application for configuring HDS Thunder, Hitachi AMS 200, AMS 500, and AMS 1000, WMS100, and HDS TagmaStore WMS 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 most of the functions that are provided in SNM.
HiCommand is another configuration user interface that is available for the HDS Thunder, Hitachi AMS 200, AMS 500, and AMS 1000, WMS100, and HDS TagmaStore WMS systems. You must have access to SNM to use HiCommand to configure settings. HiCommand allows only basic creation of storage and provides some monitoring features.
HiCommand uses Ethernet to connect to the system.
A web server runs on each of the controllers on the system. During normal operation, the user interface provides only 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.
