MegaRAID Storage Manager Software Overview
MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to configure, monitor, and maintain
storage configurations created under Embedded MegaRAID Software. The MegaRAID
Storage Manager graphical user interface (GUI) makes it easy for you to create and
manage storage confi gurations.
Creating Storage Configurations
MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to easily confi gure the controllers,
disk drives, and virtual disks on your workstation or server. The Configuration Wizard
greatly simplifies the process of creating arrays and virtual disks.
You can use the Configuration Wizard Auto Configuration mode to automatically create
the best possible configuration with the available hardware. You can use the Guided
Configuration mode, which asks you a few brief questions about the configuration, and
then creates it for you. Or you can use the Manual Configuration mode, which gives you
complete control over all aspects of the storage confi guration.
Monitoring Storage Devices
MegaRAID Storage Manager software displays the status of virtual disks, physical disks,
and other storage devices on the workstation or server that you are monitoring. System
errors and events are recorded in an event log file and are displayed on the screen.
Special device icons appear on the screen to notify you of disk failures and other events
that require immediate attention.
NOTE:
Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on
the new drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost.
NOTE:
MegaRAID Storage Manager software can be used to manage a wide
range of MegaRAID controllers. Some MegaRAID Storage Manager software
features are not applicable for Embedded MegaRAID Software.
