PC Server 720 - Administration monitoring utilities

Applicable to: World-Wide

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 your 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 your active operating system desktop.

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

To monitor the drive status with OS/2, Novell NetWare, Microsoft Windows, and Banyan Vines, you must run the administration programs. The RAID controller diskette contains files that must be installed when you use OS/2, NetWare, or Banyan Vines.

See the README file on the RAID controller diskette for installation and usage instructions for OS/2 RAID Controller Administration and Monitor, OS/2 RAID Controller Administration for NetWare, and IBM RAID Controller Administration for Banyan Vines. For OS/2 RAID NetFinity Alert Manager, see the ServerGuide CD documentation.
