A random comment made on twitter a few days ago has been stuck in my mind and been going around and around. It’s finally emerged. Even as we start into 2011 we don’t really have scalable Storage Resource Management products for the Enterprise.
Sure, we have point products that can managed small numbers of arrays. [...]
I’ve been using the HiCommand CLIEX (the extended CLI) today. It differs from the normal CLI in that it talks directly to the array via a command device and bypasses both Storage Navigator and Device Manager. HDS have needed this way of communicating with an array for a long time.
