Administration and Monitoring Utilities
Monitoring the Adapter Status in a Local System
The Device Driver/Administration Monitoring Program diskette
provides monitoring programs that you can use to perform
disk-array maintenance tasks. Because the monitoring programs
reside on top of your operating system, you do not need to restart
the server. Instead, you can perform tasks such as the following
from your active operating system desktop:
Select the adapter that you want to monitor.
View information about drives connected to the adapter, and
change the drive state.
Reassign a drive to replace a defunct drive.
Some operating systems provide additional features, such as adding
and deleting a logical drive. Refer to the README file on the
Device Driver/Administration and Monitoring diskette for specific
information and installation instructions.
Monitoring Adapter Status from a Remote System
The ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring programs support
the Client/Server environment using TCP/IP on a variety of
platforms. The server programs run on the system containing a
ServeRAID adapter and is supported on a number of operating
systems. See the README file on the Device
Driver/Administration and Monitoring diskette for more
information. The Client program runs in various Windows
environments:
Windows NT Server Version 3.51
Windows NT Workstation Version 3.51
Windows 95
The Client program includes many of the functions contained in the
ServeRAID configuration program. Because it resides on top of
your operating system, you do not need to restart the server to add
and remove capacity dynamically when creating or deleting an
array. You can start the Administration and Monitoring program
from your active operating system desktop.
