Snap Server 700i Series User’s Guide

Preface

About this Guide

When connected and configured as an iSCSI Storage Appliance, your Snap Server

700i Series contains storage space that can be shared by systems in an IP Storage

Area Network (IP SAN).
Three software components are included with the Snap Server 700i Series:
•

Adaptec OnTarget™ operating system:

The Adaptec OnTarget software runs on

an embedded version of the Linux operating system in the Snap Server 700i

Series chassis. The Adaptec OnTarget software is primarily concerned with

virtualizing physical disks as iSCSI volumes; however, it can also be used to

create or manage the iSCSI storage through the Command Line Interface (CLI). It

should be updated whenever the Adaptec Storage Manager software is updated.

Refer to “Maintaining Your iSCSI Storage Appliance” on page 101 for

instructions on updating the Adaptec OnTarget software.

•

Adaptec Storage Manager:

Use Adaptec Storage Manager (included on the

Adaptec OnTarget User CD) to create and manage your iSCSI storage. You can

also use Adaptec Storage Manager to monitor any GuardianOS-powered Snap

Servers on your network, as well as any Adaptec direct attached storage (DAS)

RAID controllers. Adaptec Storage Manager is installed on workstations and

consists of three modules:
•

GUI and agent:

The ASM GUI. Install it on laptops or workstations to access the

ASM Management Service and manage storage remotely.

•

Management Service:

Install it along with the GUI to add and manage your

iSCSI Storage Appliances.

•

Windows Support:

This includes additional modules for Windows 2003 and

Vista systems that support automatic provisioning, mirroring, snapshots, and

storage management using third-party VDS-aware tools.

•

Command Line Interface:

The Command Line Interface (CLI) software allows you

to monitor and manage the iSCSI Storage Appliance. Use the CLI to create and

manage iSCSI targets that appear as local disk storage on your server and use the

event logging features to monitor the entire system.

Note

In addition to the software components supplied with the Snap Server 700i

Series, you must also have software to support your iSCSI Initiator, and when

running on Microsoft Windows operating systems, Microsoft iSCSI Initiator must

be installed. See “Configuring iSCSI Initiators” on page 155 for more information.
