RAID MANAGER UTILITY

The Raid Manager Utility is preinstalled and preprogrammed on all DX9200 recorders and all DX9100 viewstations prior to

shipping. The application monitors the health of the DX9200HDDI external hard drive storage unit and provides alarm

notification if there is a malfunction. If you have changed recorder names and IP addresses, changed viewstation IP addresses,

or added/removed recorders to the system, you must update this utility with the same information. This ensures compatibility

and proper operation of the application.

The recorders have a program called the Raid Manager Server that serves as a logical recorder to obtain information from Raid

subsystems via a COM, SCSI, or fiber connection.

The viewstations have a program called the Raid Manager Gateway that serves as a data center and gathers information from

all Raid Manager recorders so that an administrator can monitor these recorders through a web browser.

You can have only one viewstation running the Raid Manager Gateway application on a network. You must disable the Raid

Manager Gateway on the other viewstations.

To disable the Raid Manager Gateway:

1. Right-click on the system tray.

2. Select “Remove from Windows Startup.”

3. Go to Start > Programs > Raid Manager Utility and then right-click to show the properties.

4. Select Delete.

5. Restart the viewstation. The icon and programs are no longer available.

The Raid Manager Gateway Configuration window shows the main root, the default group (DX9000_GROUP), and the default

recorder name (Pelco1). The default IP address of the recorder is 100.0.0.101.

To edit the default recorder name and IP address:

1. Go to your viewstation desktop and make sure the Raid Manager Gateway icon is in the system tray.

2. Go to Start > Programs > Raid Manager Utility > Raid Manager Gateway > Raid Manager Gateway Config. The following

window appears.
