Start Ibm Serveraid Manager; Add A Management Station To A Serveraid Manager - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Best Practices Manual

The ServeRAID Management Station service is an optional component of the
IBM ServeRAID Manager. This component can be installed together with the IBM
ServeRAID Manager. In the ServeRAID manager console, the local or multiple
remote Management Stations can be added. Thus an installed ServeRAID
Manager is required. Usable ServeRAID Manager versions are 7.2x.xx or higher.
At time of writing the current version is 8.20.00.
Note: ServeRAID Manager version 8.00.xx cannot be used to manage a
TotalStorage DS300 or DS400.
See 4.5, "IBM ServeRAID Manager installation on Microsoft Windows" on
page 91 about the installation of the IBM ServeRAID Manager.

4.7.2 Add a Management Station to a ServeRAID Manager

A ServeRAID Management Station is required to manage a TotalStorage DS300
or DS400. The Management Station service can run on the local machine or on a
remote machine. With ServeRAID Manager software available prior to 1
December, 2005, this Management Station software is installed together with the
ServeRAID Manager console.
Important: As of 1 December, 2005, the ServeRAID Manager CD will no
longer include the Management Station software. Management Station
software will be a separate download from the Adaptec Web site and a
separate installation.
