Starting RAIDWatch Manager


The GUI management interface, RAIDWatch Manager, needs to be started by a network or RAID systems manager regardless of which OS is being used.

Depending on your setup, you can start RAIDWatch Manager in various ways.
For both local and distant management, and under various OSes, please refer to the appropriate sub-section below for information.

Locally or via LAN under the Windows (2000/XP) environment:

Step 1. From the Start menu, select Programs -> RAIDWatch Manager.
-or-
Double-click the RAIDWatch Manager icon either in the group folder or from the desktop if a shortcut was added during the installation process. A Connection prompt window should appear on the screen.

Step 2. Enter the IP address and TCP port assignment of the host directly attached with a RAID array or a disk array system connected via LAN.

Step 3. Enter User name (Super-user/Maintainer/Guest) and password accordingly and click OK to proceed. The RAIDWatch manager defaults to the enclosure screen. You may now start managing the array.


Remote management via web browser (any supported OS)


Step 1. Start your web browser and enter the IP address of the RAID-connected server or that assigned to a RAID system's LAN port as your URL (e.g., 222.212.121.123). After a brief delay while the Java Applet starts, the RAIDWatch main connection window appears on the screen.

Step 2. Enter User name (Super-user/Maintainer/Guest) and password accordingly and click OK to proceed. The RAIDWatch manager defaults to the enclosure screen. You may now start managing the array.
