Configuring an Xserve RAID System

Configuring Additional Systems

If you plan to conﬁgure multiple Xserve RAID systems, you must enter the information and

choose settings for each system individually.

If the other systems you want to set up are on the same subnet, you can add each one to the

monitoring list and then add name and contact information, change passwords, and enter IP

addresses for each system. Each time you begin a management task, you have to enter the

management password for that system.

If you need to conﬁgure a system for the ﬁrst time that is not on the subnet with your

monitoring computer, you must ﬁnd out its IP address or use RAID Admin on another

computer on the subnet with that system. Once you know the IP address of the systems you

want to monitor, you can connect to them from any location with TCP/IP access.

Once you’ve conﬁgured the system with basic settings, you can begin using the RAID Level 5

arrays preconﬁgured at the factory, or you can create other RAID arrays and begin storing

data on the system.
