Administration and Monitoring Utility Program

Administration and Monitoring Utility Program

The IBM ServeRAID Administration and Monitoring utility program monitors the ServeRAID controller while the network operating system is up and running. The Administration and Monitoring utility program comes in three versions:

IBM OS/2
Novell NetWare/IntraNetware
Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95

The OS/2 and NetWare/IntraNetware utility programs run on the server in the stand-alone mode only.

The Windows NT/Windows 95 Administration and Monitoring utility program runs on the server in the stand-alone mode, or in a client/server environment in the client/server mode. You can use the stand-alone mode to administer and configure the ServeRAID controller while at the server. You can use the client/server mode to administer and configure ServeRAID controllers and adapters that are in servers anywhere on the network. The TCP/IP networking protocol supports the client/server mode and allows connections to IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NetWare/IntraNetware and SCO OpenServer operating systems.

Note: The Windows NT and Windows 95 utility programs are required to use the logical-drive migration feature. See 'Logical Drive Migration Administration'.

This section provides installation instructions for the following ServeRAID utility programs.

The Administration and Monitoring utility program runs on a Windows-based system (Windows 95, Windows NT workstation, or Windows NT server.)
