4.3 IBM ServeRAID Manager
IBM ServeRAID Manager is a graphical tool to manage, administer and configure
onboard RAID controllers in IBM
Eserver
xSeries servers like LSI1030, IBM
ServeRAID controller, Adaptec hostRAID controllers and network attached
storage enclosures like IBM TotalStorage DS300 and DS400. These RAID
controllers can be installed in a local or remote system. IBM ServeRAID Manager
consists of multiple components:
ServeRAID Manager console
ServeRAID Manager agent
Flashcopy agent
Command line utilities
ServeRAID Manager console is the graphical component.
ServeRAID Manager agent is used to manage local and PCI adapter based
RAID controllers. It is possible to manage them also over an existing IP network.
Flashcopy agent service comes with an additional command line interface,
SSTOOL.EXE. This service is used to configure flashcopy and snapshots for
locally attached storage. This service and command line interface cannot be
used with TotalStorage DS300 and DS400.
The IBM ServeRAID Manager can be installed with a few command line utilities.
Theses command line utilities are:
ARCCONF.EXE - used to manage the IBM ServeRAID 8i RAID adapter.
HRCONF.EXE - used to manage IBM ServeRAID 7e integrated RAID
controllers based on Adaptec Host Raid controllers in the operating system.
DOS uses two different utilities for SCSI and SATA based controllers:
RAIDSEL.EXE and ACUICHSV.EXE.
USER_TOOL.EXE - used to create, delete and modify Management Station
user accounts. This utility is installed along with the Management Station
service.
SSTOOL.EXE - used to establish SnapShots from logical volumes. This tool
is used only for supported locally attached storage.
HRCONF.EXE and ARCCONF.EXE are part of the command line tools.
4.3.1 Management Station
The Management Station service is used to talk via IP to a TotalStorage DS300
and DS400. It converts the output of the TotalStorage DS300 or DS400 to
