Understanding Adaptec Storage Manager’s Main
Components
During installation, you have the option to install up to three main components of
Adaptec Storage Manager on a system:
• The GUI and Agent
• The Management Service
• Windows Support (see page 17)
Ensure that you understand the role of these components before continuing.
Note
Component support varies by operating system. See page 203 for more
information.
The GUI and the Agent
The
GUI
(or
graphical user interface
) is the window that opens when you run Adaptec
Storage Manager. You build, monitor, and modify your IP SAN from the GUI.
The Adaptec Storage Manager
Agent
is a software component that runs in the
background and communicates status and other information about any Adaptec
direct attached storage on a system. The Agent requires no user intervention and
includes no user interface.
The GUI and Agent must be installed on at least one system in your IP SAN. See
“Installing Adaptec Storage Manager” on page 27 for more information.
The Management Service
The
Management Service
is the software component that coordinates and enables
communication between your iSCSI Storage Appliance and the iSCSI Storage Hosts
on your IP SAN. The Management Service also:
• Monitors your iSCSI Storage Appliance and IP SAN.
• Generates event alerts when activity, errors, or failures occur.
• Controls access to Adaptec Storage Manager and your IP SAN.
• Monitors jobs in progress and can schedule jobs to occur at a future time.
Similar to the Agent, the Management Service runs in the background, requires no
user intervention, and includes no user interface.
A Management Service manages and monitors only the iSCSI Storage Appliances
and iSCSI Storage Hosts that are added to it in Adaptec Storage Manager. (In the
main window of Adaptec Storage Manager, the iSCSI Storage Appliances and iSCSI
Storage Hosts are listed under the Management Service, as shown in the figure on
