Chapter 13: Managing Remote Systems 133

Introduction

To manage remot e systems, you must log in to them from the local
system. (See Logging In to Remote Systems on page 61 for a definition of
‘local’ and ‘remote’ systems, and for log in instructions.) Adaptec
Storage Manager must be installed and running on a remote system
before you can log in to it.
Once you ha ve logged in to a remote system, you can work with its
controllers, disk drives, and logical drives as if they were part of your
local system. You must log in with the proper permission level to
complet e the tasks you wish to perform. (See Understanding Permission
Levels on page 35 for more information.)
