An example of a typical Adaptec Storage Manager – Browser Edition screen is shown below.

Depending on your operating system, browser, and color scheme you may notice some differences between this illustration and your screen.

The action buttons are:

Logout — Selecting Logout ends your session and returns you to the Login screen.

Rescan — Used to rescan the configuration of the system. Typically, when a rescan is required, it occurs automatically, for example, after an array is created.

However, the system configuration can change without Adaptec Storage Manager being notified. For example, drives that are inserted or removed from a nonintelligent enclosure or an enclosure powered on after you logged into Adaptec Storage Manager would not be displayed unless you manually rescan.

The remaining buttons open additional windows that provide more detailed infor- mation and allow you to perform actions or change settings on a specific aspect of your storage subsystem.

These are: Events Options Help Properties Tasks

Immediately following the header frame is a controller information line including the model number of the first Adaptec RAID controller found in the system and the amount of cache memory (if any) installed on that controller.

Beneath the controller information are Physical Devices and Logical Devices views that show connected devices and existing arrays on this controller. Con- troller information and device views are repeated for each additional Adaptec RAID controller in the system.

Select the controller by clicking anywhere on the controller information. When the controller is selected, the Events, Properties and Tasks buttons change from blue
