Overview,

Windows NT Users
With some older firmware, you must use one logical drive if you have only
one MegaRAID adapter in the host system. Most firmware requires only an
attached device. If you have more than one MegaRAID adapter, make sure at
least one physical drive is attached to each MegaRAID adapter before you access
these MegaRAID adapters from Power Console Plus in Windows NT. You can
alleviate this problem by attaching and configuring at least a non-disk SCSI
device to each MegaRAID adapter. You can configure these logical drives using
MegaRAID Configuration Utility.
Client System Requirements
Client systems running Power Console Plus must:
be running Windows NT or Windows 2000
have an Intel Pentium or higher CPU
have at least 8 MB of system memory
have a network interface
have a 3.5” floppy disk drive
have at least 2 MB of free hard disk drive space
have a mouse or other pointing device
must be using the TCP/IP protocol
Components
The Power Console Plus package consists of:
Power Console Plus
MegaService Monitor
SNMP Agent
the registration server
the RAID server
Power Console Plus Client
Any computer running Windows NT or Windows 2000 can run
Power Console Plus. Running Power Console Plus allows this computer to
access any RAID server that is registered in the Registration Server.
Registration Server
The Registration Server contains a database of all computers that have
registered as a RAID Server.
RAID Server
The RAID Server software runs in any server that has one or more MegaRAID
controllers and allows it to register to the Registration Server.
