provides the same basic functionality as Storage Manager Pro
but has the advantage of supporting the following additional
operating systems:
■
SuSE Linux 6.4 and 7.0

such as DMI agents, that are not yet available in Storage
Manager Pro. Use Storage Manager if you require the use of
one of the additional operating systems, or if you require a
feature that has not yet been incorporated into Storage
Manager Pro. The advantage of Storage Manager Pro over
Storage Manager is its newer GUI, and its consistent look and
feel across operating systems and between client and server
platforms. You can use either tool as the primary RAID
management utility. For details, refer to
Chapter 3

functions as Storage Manager (or Storage Manager Pro) in
