Adaptec Storage Management Software User’s Guide
Introduction
Adaptec’s Storage Manager gives you complete control over your
storage subsystem, enabling you to manage your storage locally or
remotely across a network.
Storage Manager enables you to check your device configuration,
configure your controller, create and manage your disk arrays, and
provides online event logging and performance statistics.
Your Adaptec controller also includes SMOR, which enables you to
build disk arrays prior to installing your operating system and
Storage Manager. See Chapter 2, Storage Manager on ROM for
additional information about SMOR.
Adaptec Storage Manager is used to:
■ Verify and modify drive configurations
■ Create, expand, or delete disk arrays.
■ Provide online functions for the Adaptec storage subsystem
such as event logging and notification, array status, and I/O
statistics.
■ Provide remote access to Adaptec hardware and attached
storage devices across a TCP/IP network.
Storage Manager will detect Adaptec RAID controllers. It is not
intended for use with controllers by other manufacturers.
To install Storage Manager, insert the Adaptec RAID Installation CD.
An autorun installation dialog should appear. Refer to the Adaptec
SCSI RAID Installation Guide for more information about installing.
