INSTALLATION
20
•
Driver
is required for the operating system to be able to inter-
act with the Areca RAID controller.
•
ArcHTTP
has to be installed for GUI RAID console (MRAID
storage manager) to run. It also runs as a service or daemon
in the background that allows capturing of events for mail and
SNMP traps notification. Refer to the Chapter 5 Archttp Configu-
ration on ARC-8050 user manual, for details about the mail and
SNMP traps configuration.
•
CLI (Command Line Interface)
lets you set up and manage
RAID controller through a command line interface. Arc-cli per
forms many tasks at the command line. You can download arc-cli
manual from Areca website or software CD <CDROM>\ DOCS
directory.
5. When you reach the installation page, click the “Install”
button. A program bar appears that measures the progress of the
driver installation. When this screen completes, you have com-
pleted the driver installation.
6. A reboot is required to complete the installation (This will start
the ArcHTTP so RAID Console can be used).
7. Normally archttp64 and arc_cli are installed at the same time
on ARC-8050. Once archttp and arc_cli have been installed, the
archttp background task automatically starts each time when you
start your computer. There is one MRAID icon showing on your
desktop. This icon is for you to start up the McRAID storage
manager (by archttp) and arc_cli utility.
