4. Web Browser-based Configuration
If you need to use a RAID volume from ARC-8050 RAID storage unit,
you must first create a RAID volume by using LCD or McRAID storage
manager. This chapter shows you how to set up RAID volumes using
the McRAID storage manager application on a computer with an ARC-
8050 RAID storage.
The McRAID storage manager is firmware-based utility, which is acces-
sible via the web browser installed on your operating system. The web
browser-based McRAID storage manager is a HTML-based application,
which utilizes the browser (Safari, IE and Mozilla etc) installed on your
monitor station. It can be accessed through the in-band Thunderbolt
bus or out-of-band onboard LAN port. The in-band-Thunderbolt bus
method can launch the web browser-based McRAID storage manager
via archttp proxy server.
The firmware-embedded web browser-based McRAID storage manager
allows local or remote to access it from any standard internet browser.
The firmware-embedded SMTP manager monitors all system events
and user can select either single or multiple user notifications to be
sent with “Plain English” e-mails. The firmware-embedded SNMP agent
allows remote to monitor events with no SNMP agent required.
