Chapter 2: RAID Configuration

4.

Select an access mode from the drop-down menu.

–

Select

Full Access

if you need to both view the current configuration

and change the configuration.

–

Select

View Only

if you need to only view and monitor the configuration.

5.

Enter your user name and password, and click

Login

.

If the computer is networked, this is the login to the computer itself, not the

network login.

You must enter the root/administrator user name and password to use Full

Access mode. If your user name and password are correct for the Login

mode you have chosen, the main MegaRAID Storage Manager window

appears.

If the circle in Health column of the corresponding server is orange instead of

green, it means that the server is running in a degraded state—for example,

because a drive used in a virtual drive has failed. If the circle is red, the

storage configuration in the server has failed.

You can click

Configure Host

if you want to select the display preferences

for the server. You can choose to display only the local server, systems from

a list, or display all of the systems in the network of the local server.

3.

Double-click the icon of the server that you want to access. The server login

window appears, as shown in the following figure.
