ST9990 and ST9985 storage systems.
> With included Java agents it can be run from
most browsers.

> Storage Navigator is the user interface for
most Resource Manager functions


Resource Manager
LUN Management Tools
• LUN Manager streamlines configuration management
processes by enabling you to define, configure, add, delete,
revise and reassign LUNs to specific paths without having to
re-boot your system. Because LUN Manager can assign D1 D2 D3 P
multiple paths to a single LUN, you gain the necessary
infrastructure to support alternative path failover, path load
balancing and clustered systems.

• LUSE allows LUN expansion by creating virtual expandable
LUs out of groups of physical ones.

• VLVI Manager optimizes storage system capacity utilization
by allowing users to create custom sized logical volumes of
information. VLVI Manager software improves performance
by reducing logical device contention and operating system
queuing. It also boosts remote copy performance by
eliminating the need to copy large volumes of information that
are only partially used.
• Customized Volume Size and Open Customized Volume
Size (OCVS) are facilities that allows the creation of small
high-performance LUNs in mainframe and open environments

Resource Manager
LUN Manager/Virtual LUN/LUN Expansion
How does it work?
> Defines array groups on the service processor using Remote
Console
– Allows for manipulation of:
> Open Ks (1.9 GB)
> Open 3s (2.4 GB)
> Open 8s (7.3 GB)
> Open 9s (7.3 GB)
– Creates extended LUNs by aggregating Open 9s,
Open 3s or Open Ks
– Configure custom-sized LUNs which are smaller than standard LUN
sizes (LUN Carving).
– Assigns SCSI paths, LUN #, SCSI ID, fibre path to the LUNs


Resource Manager
Data Retention Utility
• Data Retention Utility for Open and for z/OS software provides WORM
(Write Once Read Many) capabilities on ST99XX disk storage systems in open
systems and mainframe environments.
> Lock down archived data to make it non-erasable and non-rewritable, Cannot change the
> Protect sensitive information and help facilitate compliance with Cannot change the data device mode

government and industry regulations.
> Eliminate the need for dedicated storage units for compliance
> Use with TrueCopy or ShadowImage replication technologies for
enhanced data protection
Rd Only Protect Protect
• Feature Highlights 3 years 3 years Forever
> Assigns read-only/write-only access permission to logical volumes in
storage systems
> Allows users to assign access attributes to logical volumes
> Provides an application programming interface (API) for open
environments and performs subsystem functions for mainframe
environments
> Allows administrators to specify data retention periods
> Offers audit lock capabilities, which “freeze” the environment so no data
can be released until an audit is completed

Resource Manager
Volume Shredder
• Volume Shredder
> Securely erases sensitive data

> Uses the volume shredding engine in the ST9990 and
ST9985 microcode

> Volumes can be shredded (un-readably erased) as they
are de- or re-allocated from Resource Manager or other
ST99XX products.

> Volume Shredder can be configured to overwrite a
volume with alternating patterns of all 1’s or all 0’s from 3
to 8 times, depending on requirements

> Available for both open and mainframe systems


Resource Manager – LUN Security
Volume Security Port Option and SANtinel
• SANtinel™ SAN security software helps ensure security in
open systems storage area networking environments
through restricted server access. With SANtinel you can
deny access to unauthorized users and safeguard your
mission-critical information.

• Volume Security Port Option performs the same function for
Mainframe environments

• What does it do for you?
Open
> Protects access to information by allowing secure 9
access to assigned storage
> Simplifies environment by consolidating multiple hosts Open 9
on a single array while ensuring access security
> Enables consolidation of heterogeneous files (Windows, Open 9
UNIX, Linux, Mainframe)
• How does it work?
> Enables the arrays to hide LUNs assigned to one host
from another
> Security at the Host Storage Domain level

Mainframe Agent
Installing Mainframe Agent
You can install Mainframe Agent with the following steps.
CD-ROM
• Insert the CD-ROM disk into a PC.
• From the PC, transfer the installation JCLs to a host machine.
1.transfer Using ASCII mode, transfer from the PC to a host machine the JCL for
allocating space for the data sets on the CD-ROM that are to be
transferred (YKAGALLO), and the JCL for allocating space for and
extracting the data sets to be executed (YKAGINST).
YKAGALLO 2.edit
• Edit the jobs transferred in step 2 to match your installation
YKAGINST
environment.
For details, see the header comments in the JCLs.
3.Create
Space …execute YKAGALLO • Create space for the data sets to be transferred (execute the
YKAGALLO job).
Execute the YKAGALLO job that you edited to match the installation
environment, which creates the sequence and the data set space for
transferring the Mainframe Agent object archive and the REXX
alternate library archive to the host machine.
• From the PC, transfer in binary mode the Mainframe Agent object
archive and the REXX alternate library archive to the transfer
