MD Storage Manager

The MD Storage Manager provides the perfect combination of robustness and ease-of-use—two attributes

not commonly found together in an entry-level storage management tool. The new MD Storage Manager

graphical user interface (GUI) is ideally suited for the full-time storage administrator, who wants complete

control over their storage configuration, as well as the part-time system administrator, who needs an

intuitive interface that helps them ensure optimal storage utilization.

• Features of the next generation MD Storage Manager:

• Automated I/O path protection with host-based, multipath, failover drivers

MD3200 Series Storage Manager Software Packages

The MD3200 series Storage Manager software contains the following four packages:

Client – This package contains the graphical user interfaces (GUI) for monitoring and managing the storage

arrays. It also contains an optional monitor service used to send alerts when there is a critical problem

with the storage arrays.

Utilities – This package contains several providers to simplify integration with Microsoft tools (VSS and VDS)

and integration to 3

party management tools that take advantage of SMI-S protocols.

Agent – This package contains software that allows a storage management station to communicate with the

controllers in the storage array over the I/O path of a host.

Failover Driver – This package contains the multi-path driver used to manage the I/O paths into the

controllers in the storage array. If there is a problem on the path or a failure of one of the controllers, the

driver automatically re-routes the request from the hosts to the other controller in the storage array.
