Accessing DAM

To access the Disk Array Administrator software using the RS-232 serial port:

1From the computer connected to the Galaxy 65 Subsystem, start your terminal emulation software.

Be sure that your terminal emulation software is set to use the correct COM port on your computer. See section 7.14, ”Terminal Emulator and COM Port Problems”, on page 76 for more details on how the Galaxy 65 Subsystem can auto-detect the baud rate.

2Press CTRL-R.

This refreshes the screen.

The initial SM Disk Array Administrator screen displays. If any events have occurred, each event displays. Informational events scroll by automatically. Warning events (yellow text on a black background) and error events (white text on a red background) display until you press Enter or Esc. Once all the events display, the initial screen displays. The initial screen alternates between displaying the date, time, and temperature and the model number of your Galaxy 65 Subsystem.

You can bypass all events by pressing Tab. However, events provide valuable information about the status of your Galaxy 65 Subsystem and you should review them. All events are also stored in the event log (see D.2, ”Displaying the Event Log”, on page 154).

3Press Enter.

The System Menu displays.
