Verifying the Secure Path Hardware Configuration
After system bootup, check the operating system event log for successful start events
for the RaiDisk and HszDisk.
Using Secure Path Manager
This section describes how to use Secure Path Manager to monitor and manage a
Secure Path for a Windows NT or Windows 2000 environment.
NOTE: This section assumes that storage subsystem storagesets have already been
configured, using SWCC, and that the drives have been partitioned and formatted with
Windows Disk Administrator. These procedures are described in the getting started guide,
which shipped with your subsystem.
Secure Path Manager is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) utility that:
• Reports the status of the two paths
• Facilitates balancing I/O between the two bus paths
• Reports disk status (path assignment, failover, and failback activity)
• Enables (manual) drive failback upon path restoration
Compaq recommends that the Secure Path Management application remain active
(or minimized) to provide continuous Secure Path status monitoring. To monitor and
manage a Secure Path environment using Secure Path Manager as described in the
following sections:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs, SANworks.
2. Select the SPM application icon.
3. Log in by entering the server name and password previously assigned in the
“Installing the Secure Path Software” section.
IMPORTANT: If you make changes to the Secure Path Agent Configuration, the changes
will not go into effect until you stop and restart the Secure Path Agent Service from the
control panel.
