Copy Services
You can use the Copy Services selections of the DS Storage Manager if you chose
Real-time during the installation of the DS Storage Manager and you purchased these
optional features. A further requirement to using the Copy Services features is to apply
the license activation keys. You need to obtain the Copy Services license activation
keys (including the one for the use of PAVs) from the Disk Storage Feature Activation
(DSFA) Web site.
Simulated Manager configuration
You can begin using the simulated mode immediately after logging on to the DS Storage
Manager. However, if you want to make your configurations usable you need to obtain the
license activation keys from the Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site.
You need to input these activation keys and save them as part of your configuration input.
This application provides the ability to create or modify logical configurations when
disconnected from the network. After creating the configuration, you can save it and then
apply it to a storage unit attached to the network at a later time.
A view of the fully expanded Simulated Manager menu choices is shown in Figure 10-14
on page 206.
Note: The actual keys are not entered via the Simulated manager, only the capacities.
The keys must be entered and applied via the Real-time manager.
