Differences between RAID Manager and Remote Web Console
This section describes the differences between RAID Manager and Remote Web Console:
• “Supported characters” (page 19)
• “Maximum number of characters” (page 22)
Supported characters
There are some differences between the supported characters for RAID Manager and the supported
characters for Remote Web Console. Because of this, you should always use only characters that
are supported by both RAID Manager and Remote Web Console.
Figure 1 (page 21) shows the characters that can be used in RAID Manager commands and their
ASCII codes. Figure 2 (page 22) shows the characters that can be used in Remote Web Console
commands and their ASCII codes. For RAID Manager do not use characters that are not supported
by the operating system in which the command is executed.
