Console

Storage Console (StorCon) is a helpful and flexible setup and diagnosis tool for the configuration,
monitoring, maintenance and tuning of mass storage subsystems that are based on one or more Intel
RAID Controller SRCU31. Unlike Storage Console Plus (), a GUI-style application for
Windows 9x/NT/2000, StorCon’s user interface is character-oriented and available for all operating
systems. Information on is found in Chapter 8, Storage Console Plus. StorCon is also
part of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31’s Flash-RAM and can be loaded at system boot level by
pressing <Ctrl> + <G>.

✏

NOTE

Some features are only available from the BIOS/Flash-RAM version of the StorCon to prevent users
from experiencing unrecoverable events.

StorCon Features

•

Diagnosis and configuration functions

•

Online capacity expansion of disk arrays

•

Host drives which can be setup and configured under normal operation

•

Monitoring functions which indicate the performance of the various components, cache
statistics

•

Enhanced repair functions for disk arrays with failed drives

StorCon Is

•

Available as both an executable program under various operating systems, and a rom-resident
program loadable with <Ctrl> + <G> at system boot level (for example, without an operating
system)

•

Available for NetWare 5.1, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux, and SCO UnixWare

•

Loadable locally (on the server) or remotely from an authorized workstation (support of various
protocols)
