FUJITSU STORAGE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 

ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser 14.2 

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT AND STABLE OPERATION FOR ALL STORAGE SYSTEMS. 

ETERNUS SF STORAGE CRUISER PROVIDES VERSATILE MANAGEMENT FEATURES FOR 

CONFIGURATION, TROUBLESHOOTING, PERFORMANCE AND CORRELATION. 

STORAGE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE ETERNUS SF 

Fujitsu's Storage Management Software ETERNUS SF 

reduces data preservation and management costs by 

directing the operation management of ETERNUS 

Disk storage systems throughout their lifecycle. For 

today's complicated storage environments, ETERNUS 

SF helps to achieve business continuity and storage 

resource optimization in complex IT environments. 

ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser 

ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser simplifies setup of Disk 

storage systems and the management of ETERNUS 

storage environments. Its ability to manipulate 

complex storage configurations and settings, via a 

user friendly graphical interface, enables you to 

implement storage environments with ease and 

without high-level skills. Once operational ETERNUS 

SF Storage Cruiser supports stable system operation 

by providing centralized management for the entire 

storage environment, including servers and Fibre 

Channel switches. ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser also 

provides storage system lifecycle functions, from 

configuration to maintenance. The resulting improved 

availability and stable operation will reduce your 

operation management costs, support Green IT and 

enable implementation of virtualized IT systems.

EASY STORAGE SETUP 

ETERNUS setup is simplified by use of pre-defined configuration templates. 

Systems can be setup and expanded just by importing (reading) pre-defined 

storage configurations. Tested configurations can also be exported (written) to 

disk storage and used again. This simplifies system expansion and enables 

configurations that support power savings and other benefits to be easily reused. 

START WITH A SMALL STORAGE SYSTEM (THIN PROVISIONING) 

Thin Provisioning enables you to start by using limited physical disk capacity 

while allocating the full capacity requirement as virtual disks to servers. Physical 

disks can then be added as usage demands without effect on server operation. 

This reduces both initial and ongoing costs as well as power consumption. 

ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser provides threshold monitoring which prevents 

physical disk capacity shortages. Its visualization of physical capacity changes 

allows system administrators to predict shortages and provide capacity expansion 

in a timely manner. This ensures operation halts are avoided. 

*Note 1: A function that improves disk resource utilization using virtualization 

technology. It is supported on ETERNUS DX80 S2, DX90 S2, DX400 series/ 

DX400 S2 series, DX8000 series/DX8700 S2, ETERNUS4000 model 400/600, 

and ETERNUS8000 model 800/1200/2200. 

POWER SAVING STORAGE 

With ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser, the Eco-mode function of ETERNUS Disk 

storage systems can be managed with a full understanding of servers and disk 

storage system requirements. Eco-mode reduces storage power consumption by 

stopping disk rotation when not in use. For example, spinning down idle disks for 

19 hours a day results in around 10% less power consumption. In addition, with 

some systems, power consumption efficiency and temperature can be displayed 

and checked or written to file (*Note 2). 

*Note 2: Available with ETERNUS DX60/DX60 S2, DX80/DX80 S2, DX90/DX90 

S2, DX400 series/DX400 S2 series, DX8000 series/DX8700 S2 

UNDERSTANDING PEFORMANCE BOTTLENECKS 

The ability to display performance information from fibre channel switches and 

disk storage systems in graphical form means system administrators can 

understand device operation status, workload conditions and identify resource 

bottlenecks. In addition, threshold settings enable ETERNUS SF to sound an alarm 

when devices reach set limits. 

Further all the information gathered by these functions can be stored in file 

formats that enable the production of periodic reports. 

DEVICE CONFIGURATION AND RESOURCE RELATIONSHIP VISUALIZATION 

ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser allows the relationships and linkages between disk 

drives and other resources, such as application server file systems, connection 

paths, mirrored disks and databases, to be displayed in a single display. This 

provides administrators with an accurate understanding of all resource 

relationships. It also allows them to more accurately proceed with storage 

expansions, resolve failures and recover operational status without problems. All 

data displayed can be saved in files and useful for off-line configuration checking 

and for comparison with previous configurations. 

SAN MANAGEMENT FOR THE ENTIRE STORAGE SYSTEM 

ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser displays all physical connection conditions for each 

storage device and for each device linkage, as an intuitive graphical display. This 

helps avoid mis-operation and the implementation of incorrect settings during 

SAN installation and operation.
