Marathon System Manager (MSM)
The Marathon System Manager (MSM) is a GUI-based tool which
runs on the local copies of NT Server within the array or on a NT
Workstation client. In either case, Administrative equivalent access
to the NT Servers is necessary to manage the array. This permission
would be set in the User Administration Tool of the CE.
The MSM is the primary tool for array management and status
monitoring. All activity in managing the array starts with this tool.
All troubleshooting scenarios should also start with this tool
whenever possible to get a quick status check of the health of the
entire array.
The MSM is installed on the IOPs, CEs, or clients as part of the
Marathon software installation or separately. Along with the
installation of the management software is the installation of its
associated command tool: MTCCONS.exe. This tool can be used at
the NT command line for carrying out commands on the array. As a
command line tool it can also be used for scripting commands or
maintenance activities.
