WebPAM Software
The Web-based Promise Array Management (WebPAM) RAID management
software offers local management and monitoring of your logical drives. The
browser-based GUI provides email notification of all major events or alarms,
memory cache management, logging for Windows servers, logical drive
maintenance, rebuild, and access to all related components (server, controller,
data channels, physical drives, and backplane).
WebPAM also displays messages about critical events on the Host PC’s monitor
screen even if your browser is closed.
For information on using WebPAM, refer to “Chapter 5: WebPAM” on page 47.
