configure and manage the subsystem is called: StorageTek Object Manager. It has various
software components (for example: Client, Agent, RDAC, NVSRAM, and OMutil for the
management station) that enable communications between hosts, controllers, drives, and the
other network devices. All these components must work together for well-orchestrated data
management and performance. StorageTek and its suppliers have worked hard to validate
and certify their 9176 and D173 storage subsystem configurations.
As technical advances are made, the software becomes more sophisticated and capable of
providing more value for the customer. These new features are described in the StorageTek
Object Manager Concept Guide, P/N 96035. StorageTek Object Manager is currently at the
7.10 level, with the 8.0 level staged for release in Q4, 2001. The StorageTek Object Manager
8.0 Concept Guide is P/N 96067. As new software manuals are released, they will be avail-
able on the engineering web page at:

Event monitoring, heterogeneous attach (with additional volumes and storage partitioning
(aka LUN Mapping) capabilities), path failover, as well as new database features (point-in-
time copy/snapshot) are explained in the documentation and are available in new software
offerings from StorageTek.
This manual primarily covers hardware, and may be thought of as the hardware systems as-
surance guide. The equivalent software systems assurance guide is the StorageTek Object
Manager Planning Guide, currently P/N MO9113Ae. This manual lists the system require-
ments as well as the patches necessary to host your StorageTek hardware and software.
