Storwize V7000 system interfaces
The Storwize® V7000 system provides a number of user interfaces to troubleshoot, recover, or maintain your system. The interfaces provide various sets of facilities to help resolve situations that you might encounter. The interfaces for servicing your system connect through the 1 Gbps Ethernet ports that are accessible from port 1 of each canister or by directly connecting to the technician port of a node canister. You cannot manage a system by using the 10 Gbps Ethernet ports.
You can perform almost all of the configuration, troubleshooting, recovery, and maintenance of the storage system from within the Storwize V7000 Unified management GUI or the CLI commands that are running on the Storwize V7000 file modules.
Use the initialization tool to do the initial setup of your system. Use the Storwize V7000 Unified management GUI or the Storwize V7000 system management GUI to monitor and maintain the configuration of storage that is associated with your systems. Perform service procedures from the service assistant. Use the command-line interface (CLI) to manage your system.
