4.2SuperCheck Administration
Once installation is complete, you may begin using the SuperCheck utility. There are still a few things that need to be configured before your SuperCheck install and administration are complete. This section will outline tasks necessary to complete SuperCheck Administration. See section 4.3, “SuperCheck Task Quick Reference” for details on executing each task. Please refer to Chapter 5 for a complete visual technical reference of the SuperCheck utility.
After you have reviewed and implemented each task below, your SuperCheck installation will be complete. At this point, you will be ready to use your SuperTrak66 RAID server for workload I/Os. Configure your array(s) for operation by partitioning and formatting them under the standard Windows NT “Disk Administrator.”
Creating Message Servers & Agents
The first time you run SuperCheck, there will be no Message Server, Message Agent, or array attachments. To establish the server connections, you must determine the TCP/IP address of the system that is running the SuperTrak66 Message Server. You may need your LAN administrator to provide this information. See Section 4.1 for installation scenarios to determine where the Message Server should be installed. Once you have identified the Message Server, perform the “Create a new message server” task as detailed in the SuperCheck Task Quick Reference, based on the Message Server system’s IP information.
Once the Message Server has been connected successfully,
Adding/Deleting New Users
If additional users require access to a SuperTrak66 Message Agent, the system administrator must create a "new user" under the Message Agent. Each user may be given access to various levels of control by an admin. A “User / Administrator” may create/delete other user accounts. “Array Administration” and “Adapter Maintenance Rights” boxes allow access to specific functions of the system.
NOTE: Don’t forget to set a password for any user who has anything more than viewing privileges on a secure network.
Setting Up A New Array
Setting up an array is considered a simple task. Consideration should be given as to the type and configuration of the array. Please see Chapter 6 for RAID configuration ideas and then perform the task of creating the new array (see p. 16)
