3.2 Connecting and Disconnecting from
a Disk Array
The GUI RAID Manager provides a feature that facilitates
connection and disconnection from disk array systems. Before
management can be performed on a particular disk array system,
you need to establish first a connection between your GUI RAID
Manager station and the target system. Once a connection is
established successfully, management can be started.
Disconnection is used for breaking the link between the GUI
RAID Manager station and the array system. This option is
particularly useful in cases where multiple disk array systems are
being managed at the same time
−
instead of restarting the GUI
RAID Manager every time you need to switch to another system,
you just need to disconnect from the current system and then
connect to a new one.
The following discusses the various ways of connecting to a disk
array system. Information on disconnection is provided at the
latter part of this section.
