The RAID controller can be configured by means of a host system running a VT100
terminal emulation program or running a terminal emulation program such as
Minicom.
Note –
You can also monitor and configure a RAID array over an IP network with
the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program after you assign an IP address to
the array. For details, see
