DATASHEET FUJITSU STORAGE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE ETERNUS SF ADVANCEDCOPY MANAGER 14.2 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. Page 3 of 7 www.fujitsu.com/eternus/
