Secure Path Manager
Secure Path provides continuous data access for RAID storage systems on
Windows 2000 Advanced Server. It allows a RA4000/4100 to be cabled on
two independent busses, using two separate host bus adapters in a single
server. Should a failure on one path’s host bus adapter, cable, or controller
occur, the failure is detected and I/O is automatically rerouted to the
functioning, alternate path. This process is called failover, and requires no
resource downtime and ensures high availability of data. Failed-over storage
units may be failed-back, through use of a configuration management utility,
once failed components have been replaced
Launching Secure Path Manager
To launch Secure Path Manager (SPM):
1.
From the START menu, select Programs, then SecurePath, and then the
SPM submenu.
2.
Click the SPM application icon.
Logging on to Secure Path Manager
Logging on to SPM incorporates entering user and storage profiles definitions
directly from the login window.
Defining SPM Storage Profiles
SPM displays a
storage-centric
view of Secure Path managed RAID storage
resources. All Secure Path protected RAID storage systems common to a
given host (or set of hosts) are presented in an SPM display.
During SPM login, enter hosts that share these RAID storage systems while
defining storage profiles from the login window.
■
To create a non-clustered host profile, start by entering a host name (or
set of host names) in the “Host-Cluster names” field.
■
To create a clustered host profile, enter a host name (or set of host
names) with each followed by a “-your clustername” designation to
identify cluster membership.
A single instance of SPM is capable of managing:
■
Multiple non-clustered hosts sharing one or more RAID storage systems
