Disk Array Monitor Utility for Windows NT 4.0
DACMON Utility
The Disk Array Monitor (DACMON) utility is available for the Mylex Disk
Array Controller running under Windows NT. DACMON is the Windows
NT system service for monitoring the status of the controller.
This utility displays the status of the controller, its disk drives, and the
progress of any rebuild operations that the controller may be performing.
The utility will fail to run if the appropriate controller is not present.
The utility can be configured to load automatically as a Windows NT service
upon system startup (the default mode). Also, it can be started or stopped on
demand through the Control Panel Services applet.
DACMON starts in a minimized icon state, with the icon placed in the lower
corner of the window. If an abnormal condition is detected, the EVENT
VIEWER will be updated, and the monitor window will automatically pop
up to display the event information.
Use the SRVCCFG.EXE utility to install or remove the DACMON service.
