About the Configuration Tool
The ATTO Configuration Tool is the utility program that displays
information about installed controllers, drivers and drives in your
Fusion storage system, and provides the means to configure and
manage them.
This program executes under:
• Mac OS
®
X 10.4 or later
• Windows
®
7/Server 2008/Vista
®
/Server 2003/XP
• Linux
®
2.4 and 2.6 kernels, x86 and x64

The ATTO Configuration Tool displays:
• The name of the Sonnet RAID controller (listed as an ExpressSAS
Rxxx adapter)
• Information about the drivers controlling the Sonnet RAID
controller, including version information for both the currently
executing driver and the flash image
• Information about Fusion drive enclosures attached to the
Sonnet RAID controller (except D400RAID, D800RAID, and
R800RAID) such as fan and power supply status
• Information about drives within attached Fusion drive enclosures
You may use the Configuration Tool to:
• Manage RAID groups
• Configure RAID Event notifications
• Modify the RAID controller’s NVRAM settings
• Revert to default factory settings
• Update the RAID controller’s flash image
• Obtain drive health information
• Obtain drive enclosure health information
The factory settings on your Sonnet RAID controller provide
excellent performance for a wide range of applications. However,
some applications may benefit from modification of the
controller’s NVRAM settings that tune the controller for a specific
performance range.
