Cluster Management 6-5 Compaq Insight Manager XE is a web-based management system that can also be used to monitor cluster hardware components. Compaq Insight Manager XE is an optional CD available upon request from the Compaq System Management website at www.compaq.com/sysmanage Managing Shared Drives There are two levels of management with shared drives in RA4000 Arrays or RA4100 Arrays. The physical disks and the drive arrays created from them are managed with the Array Configuration Utility (ACU). The logical drives are created and managed with the Disk Management utility. The ACU is first run during initial configuration of the shared storage subsystem and can be run any time afterward to view existing drive arrays, modify existing drive arrays, or add new drive arrays. The ACU is available on the SmartStart and Support Software CD, which is found in the Compaq Server Setup and Management pack. For additional information about the ACU, see the Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide or the Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4100 User Guide. Disk Management is first run after the drive arrays have been created by the ACU. Disk Management is used to partition the drive arrays, create logical drives, and assign volume labels. For additional information about Disk Management, see your Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server documentation.

be used to monitor cluster hardware components. Compaq Insight Manager
XE is an optional CD available upon request from the Compaq System
Management website at

Managing Shared Drives
There are two levels of management with shared drives in RA4000 Arrays or
RA4100 Arrays. The physical disks and the drive arrays created from them are
managed with the Array Configuration Utility (ACU). The logical drives are
created and managed with the Disk Management utility.
The ACU is first run during initial configuration of the shared storage
subsystem and can be run any time afterward to view existing drive arrays,
modify existing drive arrays, or add new drive arrays. The ACU is available
on the SmartStart and Support Software CD, which is found in the Compaq
Server Setup and Management pack. For additional information about the
ACU, see the
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide
or the
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4100 User Guide.
Disk Management is first run after the drive arrays have been created by the
ACU. Disk Management is used to partition the drive arrays, create logical
drives, and assign volume labels. For additional information about Disk
Management, see your Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
documentation.

Array
■
One Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch (Fibre Channel
SAN Switch)
■
One Compaq StorageWorks 64-bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter
