Overview
1-2 GAM Client v3.00 and WSAM User’s Manual
Workstation Array Manager functions very similarly to Global Array
Manager Client, except for the following:
• Workstation Array Manager (WSAM) is used to monitor, manage,
maintain, and configure only Mylex Disk Array Controllers, physical
devices, and logical drives that reside on the individual workstation
where WSAM is running.
• WSAM cannot access remote servers and work with controllers or
devices connected to those servers.
• WSAM runs only under Windows 2000 or Windows NT, while GAM
Client can run under Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95, or
Windows 98.
• Workstation Array Manager has no Global Status View and does not
include any of the network-related components available through
Global Array Manager Client.
Most functions of GAM Client 3.00, however, are available in WSAM, so
this manual applies to both products.
Global Array Manager Components
Global Array Manager has three components:
• Global Array Manager Server component (which is part of the Mylex
Disk Array Controller Software Kit)
• Global Array Manager Client component
• Workstation Array Manager component
Each component handles specific tasks based upon the selected function.
