What’s the difference between...?
Adaptec Storage Manager and the Agent?
Adaptec Storage Manager is the full software application, including the user interface
(windows, menus) described in this
User’s Guide
. It helps you build and maintain the logical
drives, controllers, and disk drives that make up your storage space.
The Agent is like a service that keeps your storage space running. Its job is to monitor system
health and manage event notifications, tasks schedules, and other on-going processes on each
system in your storage space. The Agent can run independently of the full application.

Event notifications, email notifications, and event alerts?
Event notifications (also called logged notifications) are messages about events on one system
that are sent to the event log of another system in your storage space. (See

Email notifications are email messages about events on a system in your storage space that are
sent to specified users. (See
page 111

Event alerts are pop-up messages or console messages about all types of events on a specific system,
which are broadcast to all the users who are logged into your storage space. (See
page 117
