4.1 Accessing the RAIDGuardX GUI
4.1.1 RAIDGuard X Client and Server
This chapter details the usage of the RAIDGuard X Client/Server. Before you can access the RAID
controller, you must load the RAIDGuard X Server on the host server.
RAIDGuard X Client
When installing RAIDGuard X, the software and drivers are automatically installed in your Host. The
RAIDGuard X interface will display RAID systems connected to the Host via PCIe cable.
Figure 34: GUI “MAC OS X platform”
To access RAIDGuard X Client:
For Macs: Go -> Application -> RAIDGuard X -> RAIDGuard X Client
For Windows: Start -> Program -> Accusys -> RAIDGuard X -> RAIDGuard X Client
RAIDGuard X Server
RAIDGuard X can provide remote configuring and monitoring features. A host with RAIDGuard X
Server installed can use RAIDGuard X to identify Accusys RAID systems on the same network,
regardless if it is DAS or SAN. RAIDGuard X enables one server to configure multiple RAID systems,
but you can only configure one RAID system at a time. To configure another RAID system, you must log
out and then select another system.
