Intuitive RAID Management Utility
The MegaRAID Management Suite™ provides
the essential software tools to eciently man-
age MegaRAID products, whether deployed in
an enterprise or small business. LSI oers a
collection of applications and tools including
a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of
online RAID management utilities. This suite of
applications allow administrators to adjust SAS
topology views from the system host, control-
ler and disk enclosure down to the logical and
physical drive level. Extending to enterprise de-
ployments, these tools scale to easily congure,
monitor and manage RAID volumes locally or
over the LAN network.
