DuraStor 6220SS/7220SS Installation and User’s Guide
tools are provided in separate user’s guides provided on the
DuraStor CD. See
Storage Management Software Tools
on page 1-2
.
This
Guide
assumes that you are familiar with basic computer
hardware and network administration terminology and tasks, and
that, if you are using your DuraStor product as part of an external
storage subsystem, you have a working knowledge of Redundant
Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology.
Installation Overview
The installation instructions can be followed to set up the complete
storage subsystem (DuraStor 6220SS/7220SS) or to install just one
of the two components (DuraStor RAID appliance or
DuraStor 312R).
If you are installing either the DuraStor RAID appliance or the
DuraStor 312R
but not both
, use the
Table of
Contents
to help you
move directly to the information you are seeking.
Storage Management Software Tools
If you are building an external RAID storage subsystem, you can
create and manage it using three different software tools:
■
Adaptec Storage Manager
TM
Pro. See
page 1-2
.
■
Adaptec Disk Array Administrator. See
page 1-3
.
■
Operator Control Panel (OCP) of the DuraStor RAID appliance.
See
page 1-3
.
Adaptec Storage Manager Pro
We recommend using the Storage Manager Pro software
application. It is included on the DuraStor CD as part of the
DuraStor Storage Subsystem and runs on both Windows NT
®
and
Windows
®
2000. Use it to create and reconfigure arrays, manage
spares, monitor the status of your storage devices, and more.
Storage Manager Pro allows you to perform all these functions for
all systems on your network that are running Storage Manager Pro
and gives you the power to manage all your storage devices from a
single location.
