Chapter 9: Managing Your Storage Space ● 37 About Adaptec Storage Manager Adaptec Storage Manager is a full-featured software application that helps you build a storage space for your online data, using HostRAID controllers and disk drives. With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can group disk drives into logical drives and build in redundancy to protect your data and improve system performance. You can also use Adaptec Storage Manager to monitor and manage all the controllers and disk drives in your storage space from a single location. When Adaptec Storage Manager is installed on a computer, the Adaptec Storage Manager agent is also installed automatically. The agent is like a service that keeps your storage space running. It's designed to run in the background, without user intervention, and its job is to monitor and manage system health, event notifications, tasks schedules, and other on-going processes on that system. It sends notices when tasks are completed successfully, and sounds an alarm when errors or failures occur on that system. The agent uses less memory than the full application. If your storage space includes systems that won't be connected to monitors (and therefore won't require the user interface), you can choose to run the agent only on those systems instead of the full application. For more information, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager User's Guide or online Help. Installing Adaptec Storage Manager Adaptec Storage Manager is included on the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD. For installation instructions, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager User's Guide, also included on the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD. About the HRCONF Command Line Utility HRCONF (HostRAID Configuration Utility) is a command line utility that you can use to perform some basic array and configuration management functions. With HRCONF, you can: ● Create and delete logical drives ● Modify and copy configuration settings ● Recover from disk drive failures and troubleshoot Installing and Using the Command Line Utility on page 76, describes how to use HRCONF. Note: Adaptec recommends that only advanced users familiar with command line interfaces use HRCONF.

About Adaptec Storage Manager
Adaptec Storage Manager is a full-featured software application that helps you build a storage
space for your online data, using HostRAID controllers and disk drives.
With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can group disk drives into logical drives and build in
redundancy to protect your data and improve system performance.
You can also use Adaptec Storage Manager to monitor and manage all the controllers and disk

The agent uses less memory than the full application. If your storage space includes systems
