DeviceManager Demo Usage Guide 1 Overview

1 Overview

OceanStor DeviceManager is an integrated storage management platform designed for all

Huawei storage systems, enabling you to configure, manage, and maintain your storage
devices with ease.
As the needs grow for exchanges and trainings on Huawei storage device operation and
management, the simulated version of OceanStor DeviceManager, OceanStor DeviceManager
Demo (Demo for short), is developed to provide you with close-to-real environment
experience and understandings on Huawei storage systems.

Restrictions
Configuration data provided by Demo is generated based on scenario simulations. You can
perform simulated operations, such as query and configuration, on Demo. However, the
operation results may differ from those of OceanStor DeviceManager in actual scenarios.
