Chapter 3: Building Your Storage Space ● 32
Starting Adaptec Storage Manager on Remote Systems
The next step is to start Adaptec Storage Manager on all the remote systems in your storage
space. (For more information about ‘remote’ systems, see page 27.)
You can run the full application on each system. Alternatively, if your storage space includes
systems that aren’t connected to monitors (and therefore won’t require the user interface
described in this
User’s Guide ), you can run the Agent only. You may want to do this if system
resources are limited, or if you want more system resources available for other tasks. (For more
information, see About the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent on page 14.)
To st a r t :
● The full application, see Starting and Logging In on the Local System on page 28.
● The Agent only, see page 32.
