Introducing Navigator 2

Hitachi Navigator Modular 2 Navigator 2 (referred to as Navigator 2) is the
storage management software application that is used to set up and
configure a variety of Hitachi Data Systems storage products, including the
AMS 2100/2300. It consists of a GUI and underlying software that is used
to accomplish many storage management configuration tasks.
Navigator 2 includes a set of easy-to-use wizards that are used for the initial
setup of the array and that automate complex and/or repetitive tasks. They
can help users quickly and easily configure, provision, and manage both
simple and complex setups. Navigator 2 also includes comprehensive set of
utility functions (features) that are used to configure and manage the
storage functions on the array. Although you can manage several models of
Hitachi Data Systems storage arrays, this manual provides instructions for
only the AMS 2000 series models.
