6-1 About Adaptec Storage Manager
The Adaptec Storage Manager allows administrators to build a storage space for online data by grouping disk drives into logical drives. The logic drive protect data through redundancy.
The Adaptec Storage Manager also allows administrators to manage controllers and drives from one work station. This includes DAS and NAS.
Installing the Adaptec Storage Manager automatically installs the Adaptec Storage Manager agent. The agent is a service (running in the background) that monitors system health, events notifi cations, and other processes on the system.
For more information, see the Adaptec Storage Manager online Help, or documenta- tion included on the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD.
Note: FreeBSD does not support the Adaptec Storage Manager to create/confi gure arrays. Use theARC utility instead.
