Administration Monitoring Utilities



Administration Monitoring Utilities

Several of the operating systems that your server supports also support (for disk-array models) RAID monitoring programs.
The monitoring programs are:


These programs include many of the functions contained in the IBM RAID configuration program, but unlike that program, they reside on top of the operating system and do not require you to start the program from a startable diskette or from a startable compact disc. You can start these programs from the active operating system desktop.

Each of these monitoring programs allows you to view the RAID configuration, reconfigure the array when replacing a defunct drive, and perform tuning tasks such as changing the write policy.

To monitor the drive status with OS/2, NetWare, Microsoft Windows, and VINES, you must be running the administration programs. The SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI-Bus Adapter Configuration Option Diskette contains files that you must install when you run OS/2, NetWare, or VINES.

See the README file on the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI-Bus Adapter Configuration Option Diskette for installation and use instructions for these monitoring utilities. For OS/2 RAID RAID NetFinity Alert Manager, also see the ServerGuide CD documentation  supplied with the server.
