Chapter 10. Installing and starting the ServeRAID Manager
program
After installing the operating system and device drivers on your server, you can
install the ServeRAID Manager program. The ServeRAID Manager program
provides a graphical interface that you can use while your server is running. You
can use the interface to do the following:
v Monitor ServeRAID configuration changes
v Perform configuration functions, including create an array, delete an array, create
a logical drive, change the RAID level, dynamically increase the logical drive
size, rebuild an array, configure ServeRAID controllers for failover, and configure
a cluster
Note: ServeRAID Manager does not support all of these functions for the
integrated RAID controller that is a standard feature in some IBM xSeries
servers.
For information about using the ServeRAID Manager program, see the ServeRAID
Manager online help or Chapter 4, “Configuring ServeRAID controllers” on page 35.
