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.

DISABLING THE RAID MANAGER GATEWAY

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.

RAID MANAGER GATEWAY CONFIGURATION
