Page 55 highlights

Managing Controllers on Remote Systems When you start Storage Manager Pro on any of the systems in this example management set, you will have access to all four systems from the Storage Manager Pro Dashboard. You can then select the system you want and click Open System. Notice the icon for the ML-LAB system in the figure. This icon indicates that the ML-LAB system is the directory manager. If a system icon is gray, the system either is not running Storage Manager Pro, is shut down, or is not accessible from your network for another reason. After you set up a global user account on the directory manager, you can use that account to create, reconfigure, or delete arrays from any system in the set. Note: We strongly recommend that you back up the directory manager system regularly to ensure that your management set configuration and global directory can be restored. 4-3

Managing Controllers on Remote Systems
When you start Storage Manager Pro on any of the systems in this
example management set, you will have access to all four systems
from the Storage Manager Pro Dashboard. You can then select the
system you want and click
Open System
.
Notice the icon for the ML-LAB system in the figure. This icon
indicates that the ML-LAB system is the directory manager.
If a system icon is gray, the system either is not running Storage
Manager Pro, is shut down, or is not accessible from your network
for another reason.
After you set up a global user account on the directory manager, you
can use that account to create, reconfigure, or delete arrays from any
system in the set.
Note:
We strongly recommend that you back up the
directory manager system regularly to ensure that your
management set configuration and global directory can be
restored.
