4 SATARAID5 ARRAY MANAGER

4.1 OVERVIEW

The SATARAID5 Array Manager is the Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) which allows you to create and manage RAID volumes. The Manager initially shows two windows as seen below.

The RAID Groups window identifies SATA host adapters and configured RAID groups. For systems with more than one Silicon Image Host Bus Adapter installed, you can switch between cards by selecting the desired card in the RAID Groups Window.

When a controller is selected, the RAID Groups currently defined on that controller are also shown in the RAID Groups Window. Selecting a specific RAID Group will highlight the segments associated with that volume in the Device Configuration Window.

The Device Configuration window identifies all physical drives and their partitions.

Throughout the Manager, different colors are used to indicate the status of the components. The meanings of the colors are:

COLOR	STATUS
Green	Good.	The component and all subcomponents are okay.
Yellow	Warning. This component or at least one subcomponent has
	become degraded and requires service.
Red	Failed.	This component or at least one subcomponent has
	failed.
Grey	Unused.
