RAIDWatch User’s Manual
The new Central Management utility is also installed in this
process. The utility provides Online monitoring of Infortrend
RAID subsystems in the network.
♦ Stand-alone (on Host) – Selecting this option will install the
In-band driver (RAID agents) for servers that are directly
attached to a RAID subsystem, and the RAIDWatch software
on the local computer.
♦ Stand-alone (on Subsystem) – This will install the software
onto the controller/subsystem itself. The EonStor subsystems
come with necessary RAID agents embedded in the firmware.
A RAID subsystem will use a small section of formatted disk
space (called the reserved space) to store software related
files. Installed in this mode, RAIDWatch can be started by a
remote browser accessing the IP address assigned to the
subsystem’s Ethernet port.
If the Stand-alone (on Subsystem) installation was selected,
you will have to use a web browser to connect to the
RAIDWatch program. To do this, open a web browser and
enter the controller/subsystem IP address.
IMPORTANT!
There is no need to configure the Peripheral Device setting if you are trying
to manage a RAID subsystem from a RAIDWatch station through an
Ethernet connection (to the EonStor subsystem’s Ethernet port). An
Ethernet connection to RAID uses TCP/IP as the communication protocol.
