Starting MegaRAID Storage Manager Software

Follow these steps to start MegaRAID Storage Manager software and view the main 
window:

1.

Start the program using the method required for your operating system 
environment:

.

When the program starts, the S

 S

ERVER

 window appears.

If the circle in the server icon is yellow instead of green, it means that the server is 
running in a degraded state–for example, because a disk drive used in a virtual disk 
has failed. If the circle is red, the storage configuration in the server has failed.

2.

Double-click the icon of the server that you want to access. 

The S

ERVER

 L

OGIN

 window appears.

3.

Select an access mode from the drop-down menu.

NOTE: 

If a warning appears stating that Windows Firewall has blocked some 

features of the program, click U

NBLOCK

 to allow MegaRAID Storage Manager 

software to start. 

This is because Windows Firewall sometimes blocks the operation of programs 
that use Java.

NOTE: 

To access servers on a different subnet, type in the box at the bottom of 

the screen the IP address of a server in the desired subnet where MegaRAID 
Storage Manager software is running, and click U

PDATE

. If you check the 

Connect to remote Framework box, you can also access a standalone 
installation of MegaRAID Storage Manager software, if it has a network 
connection.
