Configuring an Xserve RAID System
You use RAID Admin to enter basic information, such as system name, access level and
password, and network settings, on the Xserve RAID system. Monitoring buttons require the
monitoring password; management buttons require the management password.
Before creating RAID arrays, it’s a good idea to configure the system with the name,
password, and network settings you want. You may need to get some information from the
network administrator for your location.
Be sure to write down the information you enter for the system and keep that record in a
safe place. If you plan to share your Xserve RAID system, other users will need to know some
or all of these details.
