Overview
Server Administrator Storage Management provides enhanced features for conguring the locally attached RAID and non-RAID disk
storage on a system. Storage Management enables you to perform controller and enclosure functions for all supported RAID and non-RAID
controllers and enclosures from a single graphical user interface (GUI) or command-line interface (CLI). The GUI is wizard-driven and
includes features for novice and advanced users. The CLI is fully featured and scriptable. Using Storage Management, you can protect your
data by conguring data-redundancy, assigning hot spares, or rebuilding failed physical disks. All users of Storage Management should be
familiar with their storage environment and Storage Management.
Storage Management supports SATA and SAS, but not Fibre Channel.
For information on Storage Management alerts, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide at dell.com/
