To follow the process to install driver & utility on Intel-based Mac as below:
1. Insert the Sans Digital Software CD that came with your Sans Digital SAS RAID controller.
2. Double-click on the "install_mraid.zip" file that resides at <CDROM>\packages\MacOS to add
the installer on the Finder.
3. Launch the installer by double-clicking the install_mraid on the Finder.
4. Follow the installer on-screen steps, responding as needed, to complete the driver and MRAID
(ArcHTTP and CLI utility) installation.
Driver is required for the operating system to be able to interact with the RAID controller.
•
ArcHTTP has to be installed for GUI RAID console (MRAID storage manager) to run. It also runs
•
as a service or daemon in the background that allows capturing of events for mail and SNMP
traps notification. Refer to the section 5.6 ArcHTTP Configuration, for details about the mail and
SNMP traps configuration.
Command Line Interface (CLI) lets you set up and manage RAID controller through a command
•
line interface. CLI performs many tasks at the command line.
Important: Be sure to update the ArcMSR.kext driver shipping with MAC OS X to V1.3.7 or later from the
CD or website.
A reboot is required to complete the installation (This will start the ArcHTTP so RAID Console can be
used).
Normally ArcHTTP64 and CLI are installed at the same time on SAS RAID controller. Once ArcHTTP and
CLI have been installed, the ArcHTTP background task automatically starts each time when you start
your computer.
There is one "MARID" icon showing on your desktop. Double-click on the "MRAID" icon to locate your
ArcHTTP utility and CLI program file folder.
