Using Adaptec Storage Manager
Browser Edition
Overview
This chapter describes how to use Adaptec Storage Manager
Browser Edition to manage arrays. Once you are logged in, you
will find convenient online help to guide you through the details of
creating, configuring, and managing arrays.
Note:
Your controller may not support all of the features
described. In most cases if a feature is not supported by your
controller the feature does not appear in the interface.
With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can:
Locally manage a system containing a supported Adaptec
RAID controller that has Windows or Linux and a supported
browser.
Remotely manage any system containing a supported Adaptec
RAID controller that has Managed System Components (see

). You can manage a
remote system even if there is no RAID controller on the host
system. Also, you can manage a remote system running Unix or
Netware if it has the ARCPD agent installed.
These same Windows and Linux systems can also be managed
remotely. This can be achieved in two ways:
Installing Adaptec Storage Manager on the remote system.
Directing the browser on the remote system to the system you
want to manage.
Note:
To manage an array remotely from a Linux system,
install Adaptec Storage Manager on the system and use the
Adaptec-supplied version of Mozilla as the browser.
