What's Included in this User's Guide What's Included in this User's Guide This User's Guide describes how to use Adaptec Storage Manager to configure your iSCSI Storage Appliance and create an IP SAN, modify and monitor iSCSI storage, maintain your iSCSI Storage Appliance, and monitor any GuardianOS-powered Snap Servers on your network. It also provides instructions for installing and configuring iSCSI initiators in the systems that will be accessing iSCSI storage. For advanced users, this Guide also provides detailed instructions for using the iSCSI Storage Appliance's CLI (see page 177). Additionally, this Guide describes the hardware features and specifications for your Snap Server 700i Series and S50 expansion array (see page 187). Note For more information about using Adaptec Storage Manager with Adaptec direct attached storage, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager User's Guide for Direct Attached Storage on the installation CD that came with your Adaptec DAS RAID controller. What You Need to Know Before You Begin This Guide is written for system or network administrators who want to create an IP SAN. Advanced knowledge of storage networks is not required, but you should be familiar with computer hardware, data storage, and network administration terminology and tasks, and have knowledge of Internet SCSI (iSCSI) and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology. Terminology Used in this Guide In this Guide, these terms will be used to differentiate between your Snap Server 700i Series and any other Snap Servers you may be monitoring with Adaptec Storage Manager: • iSCSI Storage Appliance-Snap Server 700i Series or Adaptec OnTarget-powered Snap Server • GuardianOS-powered Snap Server-Non-700i Series Snap Server In this Guide, when the term 'Adaptec Storage Manager' is used, it refers to the graphical user interface (GUI)-the window that opens on your monitor when you run the software. For efficiency, the term "component" or "components" is used when referring generically to the physical and virtual parts of your IP SAN, such as systems, disk drives, pools, and logical devices. 8 Snap Server 700i Series User's Guide
