has a direct connection to one or more storage systems
What is a Unisphere remote configuration?
unisphere server discovers the SYMAPI server (storsrvd) over the network
host on which unisphere server is installed does not need direct connectivity to a storage system
instead communicated over IP network w/ host connected to arrays and running SYMAPI Server
