Appendix B: Quick Answers to Common Questions... ● 159 What's the difference between...? Adaptec Storage Manager and the agent? Adaptec Storage Manager is the full software application, including the user interface (windows, menus) described in this Guide. It helps you build and maintain the logical drives, controllers, and disk drives that make up your storage space. The agent is like a service that keeps your storage space running. Its job is to monitor system health and manage event notifications, tasks schedules, and other on-going processes on each system in your storage space. The agent can run independently of the full application. See page 17 for more information. Event notifications, email notifications, and event alerts? Event notifications (also called logged notifications) are messages about events on one system that are sent to the Event Viewer of another system in your storage space. (See page 103.) Email notifications are email messages about events on a system in your storage space that are sent to specified users. (See page 111.) Event alerts are pop-up messages or console messages about all types of events on a specific system, which are broadcast to all the users who are logged into your storage space. (See page 120.)
