Managing Your Storage Enclosure
Disk storage within the enclosure can be configured using either the BIOS configuration utility or Server Administrator. For optimal management and serviceability of your enclosure, it is recommended that you use Server Administrator.
NOTE: Online configuration, enclosure status, and active event notification is only supported with Server Administrator version 6.2 or later.
Server Administrator provides a comprehensive server/storage management solution with an integrated graphical view and command line interface. It enables online configuration and management for both internal storage and externally attached storage.
Server Administrator obtains information about physical storage devices, disk enclosures, virtual disks/RAID arrays, and logical devices and displays the information in both physical and logical views. Using Server Administrator you can:
•create and manage RAID storage configurations
•display storage information
•customize event reporting
•view logged events
For more information, see the Server Administrator documentation at support.dell.com/manuals.
