Only one Storage Management Server exists in any one AdvancedCopy Manager configuration. The AdvancedCopy Manager Management Module and Agent Module are installed on the Storage Management Server. If the Storage Management Server is also connected to ETERNUS, it can also perform the role of the storage server.
The Storage Management Server's primary role is briefly described as follows:
Serve as centralized control center.
Maintain a database of storage servers and associated devices such as transaction volumes, backup volumes and replication pairs.
Accept commands from web base GUI and execute the relevant ACM function.
Information
A Storage Management Server is not required if only AdvancedCopy Manager CCM is used.
