## Managing From the Site LAN

You can manage the storage in the system from any host that has a network connection to the system:

- You can administer the system using the system's user interface from any host in the network.
- You can manage the system and monitor, diagnose, and fix problems manually or by means of scripts using a thin-scripting client. Thin-scripting clients are available for Solaris and Windows operating systems.
- You can monitor the system using third-party management tools such as Tivoli or BMC PATROL, which are supported by CIM and SNMP interfaces to allow discovery of the system.
