Appendix D: Installing the Adaptec SATA HostRAID Utility
D-9
D-4.Using Adaptec Storage Manager(-Browser Edition)
Overview
This chapter describes how to use Adaptec Storage Manager – Browser
Edition to manage arrays. (*Note: Your controller may not support all of the
features described. In most cases if a feature is not supported by your
controller, the feature does not appear in the interface.)
With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can:
* Locally manage a system containing a supported Adaptec RAID controller that
has Windows or Linux and a supported browser.
* Remotely manage any system containing a supported Adaptec RAID controller
that has Managed System Components (see the section regarding Typical,
Custom, and Compact Installations). You can manage a system remotely from a
system that does not contain a RAID controller.
These same Windows and Linux systems can also be managed remotely by
either of these methods:
* Installing Adaptec Storage Manager on the remote system.
* Directing the browser on the remote system to the system you want to
manage.
(*Note: To manage an array remotely from a Linux system, install Adaptec
Storage Manager on the system and use the Adaptec-supplied version of
Mozilla as the browser.)
Architecture Overview
A locally managed system requires all of these components:
* A supported Web browser, which should already be installed on the system.
* The Adaptec Web service which supplies content displayed on the Web
browser.
* An Adaptec-supplied storage agent.
A remotely managed system requires all of these components:
* The remote system must contain a browser.
* The storage agent must always be installed on the system with the RAID
controller installed.
* Remote and managed systems must have a TCP/IP connection.
The Web service can be installed on the same remote system as the browser,
the system with the RAID controller installed, or a third system.
Communication security is ensured because Secure-HTTP (S-HTTP) or SSL
protocols are used to encrypt all transmitted data. Connection over an Ethernet
network, a corporate WAN, or VPN are supported.
