The management client is the computer used to log in to and manage your storage system. The management client is LAN-attached to the storage system and communicates with the service processor (SVP) or with the controller if your storage system does not have an SVP. If your storage system is equipped with an SVP, you can use Hitachi Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) as well as other management software such as Hitachi Ops Center Administrator to manage your storage system. If your storage system does not have an SVP, you can use the Maintenance Utility and other embedded tools such as Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded (HSAE) to manage your storage system.
