Warning Message Windows
The controller software responds to problems in parsing and executing
commands from Client and Agent by returning a message window entitled
“Warning”. The content of such messages may contain such indications as
“Command Execution Error,” along with pertinent detailed information.
These messages are simply passed through for display by Client and Agent and
are normally associated with problems in the controller. However, sometimes
“Command Execution Error” does indicate a problem with SWCC.
Virtual Disk Maximum Capacity
The maximum capacity of RAID-based virtual disks is determined by the
capacity of the smallest member, not the largest.
• The maximum capacity of RAID 0 virtual disks is equal to the number of
members times the capacity of the smallest member.
• The maximum capacity of RAID 1 virtual disks is equal to the capacity of
the smallest member.
• The maximum capacity of RAID 0+1 virtual disks is equal to the number of
members in one stripe times the capacity of the smallest mirrorset member.
• The maximum capacity of RAID 3/5 virtual disks is equal to the number of
members minus one times the capacity of the smallest member.
Local Client/Agent Network Connection
To create a local connection to take advantage of Agent’s event notification
features, you can run both Client and Agent on the same Windows NT host
machine and connect them using a network connection. No special installation
instructions are necessary to implement this type of connection. Install each
component as if Client were to run on a system remote from the host machine.
Note that, because Client only runs on Windows NT or Windows 95 and
Windows 98 systems, and Agent runs on Windows NT, UNIX-based systems,
and OpenVMS, you can only implement this type of connection on a Windows
NT system.
Note also that you cannot use Client with a local connection of either type while
an Agent is running on the local machine.
