RSM for Storage software receives SNMP traps from the Event Monitor included with IBM DS
Storage Manager. RSM for Storage software cannot be installed on the same system used to
manage your storage network.
Note: See the IBM RSM for Storage Compatibility Guide for the latest update of supported
servers, modem, and operating systems. The document can be downloaded from the

6.1.2 DS-RSM Model RS2
The IBM System Storage DS Remote Support Manager for Storage (DS-RSM) Model RS2
server is available to simplify the task of obtaining the hardware and software components
required for running the RSM for Storage software. The DS-RSM Model RS2 (Figure 6-2) can
be ordered as an appliance with your IBM DS5000 System Storage storage subsystem.
The DS-RSM Model RS2 is designed to help manage problem reporting and analyze alert
notifications for IBM Midrange System Storage storage subsystems. The DS-RSM Model
RS2 contains more advanced processor and memory technology for enhanced processing
capabilities. The DS-RSM Model RS2 can attach to the LAN and collects alerts from IBM
Midrange System Storage storage subsystems within the data center and expedite forwarding
of the alerts to an IBM Service center.

Additionally, the DS-RSM Model RS2 is designed to enable:
IBM to establish communication with the attached supported storage systems
Faster response time on processing alerts
The ability to transfer detailed information to assist error analysis
Enhanced problem resolution
The DS-RSM Model RS2 can help improve and facilitate service and support for the DS
storage subsystems. Additionally, IBM recommends that, for each data center with a DS
storage subsystem present, that you install at least one DS-RSM Model RS2 that can
interoperate with all of the DS5000/DS4000/DS3000 controllers located at the site. Each
DS-RSM Model RS2 unit has the capability to manage up to 50 DS5000/DS4000/DS3000
storage systems.
DS-RSM Model RS2 is compatible with the following IBM Midrange System Storage storage
subsystems:
DS3000 series
DS4000 series
DS5000 series
