Hard Drive Maintenance • 4–1

Hard Drive Maintenance

Voyager utilizes a software-based RAID system in conjunction with an ICH10 chipset on the system motherboard. 
This setup relies on the Windows operating system and host processor to perform all of the RAID functionality.

MegaRAID Storage Manager

The MegaRAID Storage Manager is used to manage, maintain, and monitor the Voyager server RAID array.

Use the following procedure to open the MegaRAID Storage Manager.

To open the MegaRAID Storage Manager:

1.

Log in to the Voyager server using the following (no password):

Username

 —
