Monitoring Functions
The FCArray Assistant Server software collects and disseminates information on
disk array status and resource utilization. If the goal is monitoring and simple
maintenance or messaging, FCArray Assistant Server is sufficient for these tasks.
The FCArray Assistant Client software, an additional component available from
Hewlett-Packard, accesses this information and then organizes it through an
intuitive graphical display. Errors and events are recorded in a log and if a
problem is serious enough to warrant immediate attention, operators can be alerted
electronically via popup windows, pagers, fax or e-mail, if desired.
Configuration Functions
Disk array configuration and remote TCP/IP support functions are provided
through use of the FCArray Assistant Client software.
The FCArray Assistant Client software provides a utility, RAID Assistant, to
configure, re-configure and set up disk arrays in three different modes of
operation.
