IBM DS Storage Manager Host Software version 10.35

Developed by IBM Corporation, IBM DS Storage Manager Host Software is a host connectivity and management suite for IBM System Storage DS series arrays. It streamlines provisioning, monitoring, and protection of block storage by unifying array configuration with host-side path management. Administrators can create and manage volumes, map them to hosts, configure RAID, and apply best practices through an intuitive interface. The host components provide multipath I/O for load balancing and automatic path failover, helping ensure continuous access and consistent performance. Built-in health monitoring, performance views, event logging, and alerting help detect issues early and simplify troubleshooting. Where licensed, the software also supports copy services such as snapshots and remote replication to protect critical workloads.

Key capabilities include:

• Centralized array and volume management
• Host mapping and access control
• Multipath I/O with automatic failover and load balancing
• Firmware and configuration management
• Real-time health, performance, and event monitoring with alerts
• Secure administration and role-based access (feature availability varies)

Support for specific DS models, operating systems, and features depends on the version and licensed options. Refer to the official IBM documentation for exact compatibility and requirements.
