Using Adaptec Storage Manager – Browser Edition
Overview
This chapter describes how to use Adaptec Storage Manager –
Browser Edition to manage arrays. Once you are logged in, you
will find convenient online help to guide you through the details of
creating, configuring, and managing arrays.
Note: Your controller may not support all of the features
described. In most cases if a feature is not supported by your
controller the feature does not appear in the interface.
With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can:
■ Locally manage a system containing a supported Adaptec
RAID controller that has Windows or Linux and a supported
browser.
■ Remotely manage any system containing a supported Adaptec
RAID controller that has Managed System Components (see
Typical, Custom, and Compact Installations on page 3-2). You can
manage a system remotely from a system that does not contain
a RAID controller.
These same Windows and Linux systems can also be managed
remotely by either of these methods:
■ Installing Adaptec Storage Manager on the remote system.
■ Directing the browser on the remote system to the system you
want to manage.
Note: To manage an array remotely from a Linux system,
install Adaptec Storage Manager on the system and use the
Adaptec-supplied version of Mozilla as the browser.
