Installing WebPAM PRO
Web-Based Promise Array Management—Professional (WebPAM PRO)
software provides a browser-based graphic user interface used to monitor and
manage Promise RAID products and their logical drives. Because it works over
your network, it can monitor and control multiple systems.
WebPAM PRO involves four components:
• Utility Server – Enables RAID management over a network
• Agent – Enables the Host PC to communicate with the Utility Server
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) – A private installation for
WebPAM PRO
• Internet Browser – Comes with your OS
When you install WebPAM PRO on a PC or server, you are installing the Utility
Server, Agent, and JRE.
• Utility Server (page 38)
• Agent (page 38)
• JRE (page 39)
• Internet Browser (page 39)
• Installing WebPAM PRO onto Windows (page 40)
• Installing WebPAM PRO onto Linux (page 49)
Utility Server
The Utility Server can run on the Host PC (where the SuperTrak card is installed),
or on a networked PC, if your WebPAM PRO system includes remote
management over a network. You run the Utility Server by directing your browser
to the IP address of the Host PC.
Agent
The Agent runs on the Host PC (where the SuperTrak card is installed). After you
have logged into the Utility Server through WebPAM PRO, the Utility Server
accesses the Agent on the Host PC. As the user, you do not access the Agent
directly.
Operating System Support
On the Host PC where you install the SuperTrak controller and WebPAM PRO,
Promise Technology recommends:
• Windows Server 2008 (64 bit) with or without Hyper-V
• Windows Server 2008 (32 bit)
• Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit)
