1 Configuring an
Xserve RAID System
Use the RAID Admin application to configure or monitor
one or more Xserve RAID systems.
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. (The default passwords are “public” for monitoring and “private” for
management.)
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.
