ServeRAID programs for Windows NT, and Windows 95, ServeRAID background-server, components

Page 139 highlights

This section provides information about the IBM ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program files for the ServeRAID adapters and controllers. You can use these files with the Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, Novell NetWare, SCO OpenServer, and SCO UnixWare operating systems. ServeRAID programs for Windows NT and Windows 95 The ServeRAID program files available for Windows NT consist of the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program, device drivers, background-server components, and the IPSSEND and IPSMON command-line programs. (See "IPSSEND and IPSMON programs" on page 154 for more information.) The IBM ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program for Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 95 is called the WIN32-Based program. This program provides a graphical interface that enables you to monitor ServeRAID configuration changes being performed on the server while the server is fully operational. You can create an array, delete an array, create a logical drive, change the RAID level, dynamically increase the logical drive size, rebuild an array, and perform other basic ServeRAID configuration functions. You can run the WIN32-Based program in the stand-alone mode only on a Windows NT server. Or, you can run the WIN32-Based program remotely on a Windows NT or Windows 95 client and access the client from a server that has TCP/IP, a background-server component (see "ServeRAID background-server components"), and one of the following operating systems installed: Microsoft Windows NT IBM OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 LAN Server Novell NetWare 3.12 and 4.1X SCO UnixWare 7.0 SCO OpenServer 5.0.X ServeRAID background-server components The background-server components are operating-system-specific program files that enable servers running Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, or UnixWare to act as the TCP/IP interface for a remote client that has the WIN32-Based program installed. These files install automatically when you use the instructions in this chapter to install the ServeRAID operating-system-specific device drivers. Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 131

This section provides information about the IBM
ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring Program files for
the ServeRAID adapters and controllers.
You can use
these files with the Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2,
Novell NetWare, SCO OpenServer, and SCO UnixWare
operating systems.
ServeRAID programs for Windows NT
and Windows 95
The ServeRAID program files available for Windows NT
consist of the ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring
Program, device drivers, background-server components,
and the IPSSEND and IPSMON command-line programs.
(See “IPSSEND and IPSMON programs” on page
154 for
more information.)
The IBM ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring
Program for Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 95 is
called the WIN32-Based program.
This program provides
a graphical interface that enables you to monitor
ServeRAID configuration changes being performed on the
server while the server is fully operational.
You can create
an array, delete an array, create a logical drive, change
the RAID level, dynamically increase the logical drive size,
rebuild an array, and perform other basic ServeRAID
configuration functions.
You can run the WIN32-Based program in the stand-alone
mode
only
on a Windows NT server.
Or, you can run the
WIN32-Based program remotely on a Windows NT or
Windows 95 client and access the client from a server that
has TCP/IP, a background-server component (see
“ServeRAID background-server components”), and one of
the following operating systems installed:
±
Microsoft Windows NT
±
IBM OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 LAN Server
±
Novell NetWare 3.12 and 4.1X
±
SCO UnixWare 7.0
±
SCO OpenServer 5.0.X
ServeRAID background-server
components
The background-server components are
operating-system-specific program files that enable servers
running Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, or
UnixWare to act as the TCP/IP interface for a remote client
that has the WIN32-Based program installed.
These files
install automatically when you use the instructions in this
chapter to install the ServeRAID operating-system-specific
device drivers.
