Overview

Server Administrator Storage Management provides enhanced features for

configuring a system's locally-attached RAID and non-RAID disk storage.

Storage Management enables you to perform controller and enclosure

functions for all supported RAID and non-RAID controllers and enclosures

from a single graphical or command-line interface without requiring use of

the controller BIOS utilities. The graphical interface is wizard-driven with

features for novice and advanced users. The command-line interface is fully-

featured and scriptable. Using Storage Management, you can protect your

data by configuring data-redundancy, assigning hot spares, or rebuilding failed

physical disks. You can also perform data-destructive tasks. All users of

Storage Management should be familiar with their storage environment and

Storage Management.

Storage Management supports SCSI, SATA, ATA, and SAS but not fibre

channel.
