3. For scanning RAID systems, the RGC Agent sends out broadcast packets on its subnet. If IP address range is
specified, only the RAID systems within the IP address range will respond to the Agent. Up to 256 RAID systems can
be displayed per scan. If you have more RAID systems on single subnetwork, you need to carry out multiple scans
using different IP ranges.
Figure 5-36 shows the RAID system scan screen. The System Panel contains the following columns to display the
information of each RAID system discovered.
Table F-1 shows the meaning of the text displayed in the Status column and the corresponding RAID system icons in the
Structure tree section.
Register a RAID system
1. Login to RAID systems with admin is required for the registration. RAIDGuard Central will attempt to use the default
admin password '0000' to login the selected RAID system. If the password is incorrect, it will pop up a window to
request for your input.

Table 5-2 System status information
Icon Status Description
None Unregistered RAID system with unknown status.
Normal
Registered online RAID system, functioning normally. Query thread queries the
registered systems every ten seconds. Their statuses will be changed accordingly.
Offline
Registered offline RAID system. The RGC cannot reach the RAID system because
the RAID system or its network link is down. The system status will be returned back
when it is restarted.
Trouble
Registered defective RAID system. The RAID system requires your attention. The
system will be changed to “Normal” after the beeper is disabled.
Note
• If you register the selected RAID system three times with the wrong password, the pop-up
password request window will close. Re-select the RAID system you want to register and the
pop-up window appears again.
• If you have checked the checkbox to remember your password on the pop-up password request
window. Once entered, the correct password of each RAID system is automatically stored on
your computer so that you do not need to retype it every time you register and unregister the
corresponding RAID systems. However, the changed password will be discarded the next time
you launch the RAIDGuard Central.
