Storage Management Service
Overview
The Storage Management Service provides RAID and non-RAID storage management that is
integrated with Server Administrator. On Microsoft
®
Windows
®
, Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux, and

non-RAID controllers and enclosures from a single graphical or command line interface without
the use of the controller BIOS utilities.
• Enables you to view the status of local and remote storage attached to a monitored system.
• Supports SCSI, SATA, ATA, and SAS; however, Fibre Channel is not supported.
• Protects your data by configuring data redundancy, assigning hot spares, or rebuilding failed drives.
• Provides a graphical interface that is wizard-driven with features for novice and advanced users
and detailed online help.
• Provides a command line interface that is fully featured and scriptable.
• Provides detailed online help.
See the Server Administrator Command Line Interface User's Guide for information about running
Storage Management from the command line.
