WebPAM Components
There are two components to WebPAM. Depending on your installation, all three
may be on the same workstation or work separately across your network:
Utility Server
– The Utility Server runs on the “Host PC”. The Utility Server
software monitors and reports on the condition of the RAID logical drives and
provides a complete set of management tools. It displays a Graphic User
Interface (GUI) on your Internet Browser.
Internet Browser
– Typically an Internet browser comes with your operating
system. WebPAM does not include a browser. For computers that will remotely
monitor and manage the RAID, the Internet Browser is the only software
required.
Your Internet Browser provides the means for you to monitor and configure your
Promise RAID products using WebPAM. You can use the most recent versions of
either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
How They Work Together
The WebPAM software provides and easy way to set up, monitor, modify and
repair your RAID. WebPAM works with the Promise FastTrak SX series RAID
Controller cards.
WebPAM watches the RAID and when significant events happen, or it discovers
a problem, the Utility Server passes the warning along to all connected PCs.
Warnings appear on the PC in the form of email messages and popup alerts. You
can select either one or both. You can also select which events and problems
WebPAM will report.
A major benefit of WebPAM is that it runs over a TCP/IP network. This enables
remote monitoring of your RAIDs, including offsite monitoring over an Internet
connection.
Once you become aware of a problem, go to the PC that controls the RAID,
called the “Host PC” to take corrective action. If you have more than one RAID
PC on your network, WebPAM will indicate which one has the problem.
