If you need to use a RAID volume from ARC-8050T2 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-8050T2 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.
Use
the
McRAID storage manager to:
• Create RAID set
• Expand RAID set
• Define volume set
• Add physical drive
• Modify volume set
• Modify RAID level/stripe size
• Define pass-through disk drives
• Modify system function
• Update firmware
• Designate drives as hot spares
