Introduction
About the Storage Management Software Tools
If you are building an external RAID storage subsystem, you can
create and manage it using either of the two software tools
included with your storage subsystem:
■
Adaptec Storage Manager
TM
Pro
■
Adaptec Disk Array Administrator
Adaptec Storage Manager Pro
We recommend using the Storage Manager Pro software
application. It is included on the DuraStor CD as part of the
DuraStor Storage Subsystem and runs on Windows NT,®
Windows® 2000 and Sun Solaris 8. Use it to create and reconfigure
arrays, manage spares, monitor the status of your storage devices,
and more.
Storage Manager Pro allows you to perform all these functions for
all DuraStor storage subsystems on your network that are running
Storage Manager Pro and gives you the power to manage all your
storage devices from a single location.
See
Installing Storage Manager Pro
for details.
Adaptec Disk Array Administrator
If you are using an operating system other than Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Sun Solaris 8, you need to use Disk Array
Administrator to manage your storage subsystem.
Disk Array Administrator is firmware built into the
DuraStor 6200S/7200S RAID controller BIOS, and can be accessed
using the RS-232 serial port connection on the rear panel of the
DuraStor RAID appliance. See
Accessing Disk Array Administrator
for detailed instructions.
You can find the
Adaptec Disk Array Administrator User’s Guide
on
the DuraStor CD.
