The Operator Control Panel
of the DuraStor RAID
Appliance
If you do not have a computer monitor, or cannot run storage
management software (Storage Manager Pro) or firmware (Disk
Array Administrator), you can control and manage the DuraStor
RAID appliance or DuraStor 6200SS/7200SS by using the OCP on
the front bezel of the Adaptec DuraStor RAID appliance.
A switch on the rear panel of the DuraStor RAID appliance
switches the input mode from keyboard (
EXT
) to OCP (
INT
).
See
SCSI RAID Appliance I/O Connectivity Panel
on page 2-7
for
information.
Note:
The front bezel LEDs will work whether the OCP is
being used or not. Setting this switch to
EXT
will not disable
the front bezel LEDs.
We
highly recommend
that you use either Storage Manager Pro or
Disk Array Administrator to manage your external RAID system.
However, if you don’t have a computer monitor available and
cannot use one of these user-friendly applications, the DuraStor
RAID appliance’s OCP can be used to perform most storage
management functions, such as:
■
Creating and managing arrays and partitions
■
Monitoring system status
■
Managing spares
