Storage Management
Software Overview
Your Adaptec RAID controller includes the following software tools
to manage your storage subsystem:
■ Storage Manager —The graphical user interface (GUI) through
which you interact with the storage subsystem. It provides an
intuitive graphical interface that enables you to do such things as
create and manage arrays, set up security levels for users and
administrators, establish the means of notifying users of disk
failures, etc. Storage Manager is supported under the following
operating systems:
■ Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0.
■ Red Hat Linux 7.3
■ For details on the latest Linux releases supported go to
linux.adaptec.com.
For details, refer to Chapter 3.
■ RAIDUTIL Command Line Utility—Provides the same
functions as Storage Manager in environments where a GUI is
not available. It is also scriptable, making it an invaluable
companion RAID configuration utility in environments where
many similarly-configured RAID subsystems must be replicated
quickly. For details, refer to Chapter 4.
