Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S/2015S Installation Guide
Storage Management Software Overview
Adaptec supplies a number of software applications for setting up
and managing RAID arrays with the Adaptec ZCR. One is a
Graphical User Interface (GUI), one is a Command-Line Interface
(CLI) that is loaded along with the GUI application, and the third is
provided as a utility that may be used before the operating system
is available.
■ Adaptec Storage Management software—The GUI through
which you interact with the storage subsystem. Storage
Manager supports the following operating systems:
Note: Up-to-date information, including the latest versions
of drivers and RAID management software for Adaptec
RAID products, may be found by perusing Adaptec’s web
site at www.adaptec.com. Similar information for LINUX
may be found at linux.adaptec.com
Furthermore, Adaptec Storage Management provides
additional features, such as Simple Network Mail Protocol
(SNMP) and
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) agents.
■ RAIDUTIL CLI—Provides the same functions as Storage
Manager in environments where a GUI is not available. It is also
scriptable, making it an invaluable companion RAID
configuration utility in environments where many similarly-
configured RAID subsystems must be replicated quickly. For
details, refer to the Adaptec Storage Management Software User’s
Guide.
■ SMOR—A built-in utility that is part of the controller’s BIOS
code. Start SMOR by pressing Ctrl+A during BIOS startup. For
details, refer to Configuring the Controller to Boot from Channel 1
on page -8.
■ Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP
■ Red Hat Linux 7.3
