1.0 ATTO ConfigTool
The ATTO ConfigTool is a utility program that displays information about installed storage controllers, drivers and
devices and provides a mechanism to configure installed storage controllers in local and remote hosts. The ATTO
ConfigTool is used to manage all ATTO host based products including HBAs, RAID adpaters and Desklink
Devices.
The ATTO ConfigTool provides a central interface for
managing local and remote hosts with ATTO storage
controllers installed. Features include:
• The names of ATTO storage controllers
installed in the host
• Information about the devices attached to
ATTO storage controllers
• Information about the drivers and firmware
controlling the storage controllers, including
version information
You may also use the ATTO ConfigTool to:
• Update the flash image when a new version
is released by ATTO
• Modify the NVRAM settings (refer to the
product-specific NVRAM information
sections in this manual)
• Manage RAID groups
• Configure RAID notifications
• Revert to default factory settings
The factory settings should provide excellent
performance for a wide range of applications.
However, some applications may benefit from
modification of the storage controller NVRAM settings
which tune the storage controller for a specific
performance range.
