RAIDWatch User’s Manual
NOTE:
If the In-band connection to RAID arrays is used, the RAIDWatch
program can access the arrays only when one logical drive exists and is
associated with host ID/LUNs. Another way to establish In-band
connection is to configure RAID subsystems’ host-LUN settings. Use
LCD panel or RS-232 terminal program to create a logical drive when
you are using a completely new hard array before installing RAIDWatch
version 2.0 or above.
• There is no need to install the RAIDWatch program to
your management computer.
• If the arrays are managed by dual-redundant controllers, in
the event of single controller failure, the manager interface
can “failover” to a counterpart controller. Operators’
access to the system will not be interrupted.
• The RAID subsystem can be accessed from a remote
station running a web browser. RAIDWatch now runs in
Java Applet mode. Applet is executed when the
connection is established between a remote browser and
the RAID subsystem. Web browsers, which are often
equipped with Java virtual machines, can interpret applets
from web servers.
• The controller firmware has an embedded HTTP server.
Once properly configured, the controller/subsystem’s
Ethernet port behaves like an HTTP server.
