1. A method for managing activity of a data storage system, comprising:
- at least partly managing and performing an operator interaction with the storage system using a first processing system;
monitoring operation of the first processing system using a second processing system;
detecting a failure in operation of the first processing system using the second processing system; and
at least partly managing and performing the operator interaction using the second processing system in response to detecting the failure.

Abstract
A method for managing activity of a data storage system, including at least partly managing and performing an operator interaction with the storage system using a first processing system, and monitoring operation of the first processing system using a second processing system. The method further includes detecting a failure in operation of the first processing system using the second processing system and at least partly managing and performing the operator interaction using the second processing system in response to detecting the failure.

15. Apparatus for redundantly managing activity of a data storage system, comprising:
-
a first processing system which is adapted to at least partly manage and perform an operator interaction with the storage system; and
a second processing system which is adapted to monitor the first processing system, and in response to detecting a failure in operation of the first processing system, to at least partly manage and perform the operator interaction. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method for managing activity of a data storage system, comprising:
-
at least partly managing and performing an autonomous activity of the storage system using a first processing system;
monitoring operation of the first processing system using a second processing system;
detecting a failure in operation of the first processing system using the second processing system; and
at least partly managing and performing the autonomous activity using the second processing system in response to detecting the failure. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)
