StorMan runs on the Management Units (MUs) of SE servers and is installed on MUs as add-on pack STORMAN.
The StorMan WebUI is integrated with SEM (SE Manager).
Figure 1: Embedding of StorMan
In SHC-OSD more than one StorMan server can be defined, see section “Multiple StorMan servers”. However, only one of the defined StorMan servers is connected and active. The active StorMan server can be switched to another defined StorMan server either automatically or manually,
Communication between SHC-OSD and StorMan is via LAN (TCP/IP) using the internet protocol IPv4 or IPv6 (on SE servers optionally via the MNCPR, one of the private management networks).
StorMan uses the FUJITSU SMI-S Provider.
The SMI-S Provider is embedded in the storage system. It must be activated.
