Storage Manager Connecting Across a Network Storage Manager can run as a client/server application across a network using a TCP/IP connection. The Storage Manager client runs on a supported workstation operating system and connects to one of the supported networked servers running the Adaptec communication engine. Figure 3-19 shows the supported workstation and server connections for a TCP/IP network. Client/Workstation Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows XP Red Hat 7.3 TCP/IP Windows 2000 Windows NT Windows XP Servers Red Hat 7.3 Red Hat 7.3 Figure 3-19 Client/Server Network Installation and Configuration Remote communication uses both client- and server-based software components.
