  • Workflows for ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series
    The workflow guide provides workflows for some of the new functions that are introduced in ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series.
  • Setting up a cluster by using ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series
    You can use ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series to set up the cluster automatically by entering values in a guided setup.
  • Setting up the network
    After the IPspace is created, you can use Storage Manager to set up the network for accessing data from storage virtual machines (SVMs) and managing SVMs. You must create a broadcast domain by using any type of port (VLANs, physical ports, or interface groups) and then create a subnet and a network interface.
  • Managing FlexGroup volumes using Storage Manager
    You can use Storage Manager to create FlexGroup volumes as per the best practices.
  • Creating a new local tier
    One of the largest changes in the ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series 9.7 is that tiers are now assigned to tiers and not aggregates. The basic operations are the same but this workflow is greatly simplified in 9.7.
  • Providing data access to qtrees using export policies
    You can export a qtree by assigning an export policy to it. This enables you to export a specific qtree on a volume and make it directly accessible to clients instead of exporting the entire volume.
  • Configuring Protection
    All features that are used to manage Snapshot and SnapMirror relationships are now done under a new section in the ThinkSystem Storage Manager 9.7 GUI.
  • Contacting Support
    You can contact Support to obtain help for your issue.
