Using Bosch RAIDWatch on the Host Computer
Bosch RAIDWatch allows you to administrate multiple subsystems from your host computer.
We recommend the installation on a host computer if central management of multiple
subsystems is required.
11.1
System requirements
Before starting the installation, read through the notes listed below:
–
TCP/IP must be installed and running with a valid IP address assigned to a server. The
server can either be used as a centralized management station, a remote client using a
browser to access the array, or directly attached with a RAID subsystem using the in-
band protocols.
–
Your system display must be running in 256 colors or a higher mode otherwise some
configuration items may not be visible. Screen size of 1024 x 768 is recommended to
avoid any graphic transformation
–
Check to confirm that the RAID disk arrays and controllers are installed properly. For the
installation procedure, see the documentation included with the controller/subsystems.
