Utilities
The adapter can use the following management utilities:
v Adaptec(r) maxView Storage Manager
IBM highly recommends that you use the maxView Storage Manager utility to configure and manage
the storage that is controlled by a PMC adapter or adapters. Once the maxView Storage Manager
utility is installed and running, it can be configured to automatically monitor and report issues such as
disk failures. If you do not install the maxView Storage Manager utility, you need to use manual tools
such as the ARCCONF command line utility. ARCCONF does not offer the automatic monitoring and
reporting of issues such as disk failures.
The maxView Storage Manager includes the following options:
– Web-based GUI Management utility
– Remote configuration, monitoring, and notification
– Remote firmware updates including adapter and device FW updates
– SMI-S Support
– SMTPARCCONF
Important:
– It is recommended that you install the maxView Storage Manager utility if you are using the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux or IBM PowerKVM operating systems.
– The maxView Storage Manager utility is not currently supported on Ubuntu.
– To download the maxView Storage Manager utility, see the PMC Adaptec(http://i.adaptec.com/
power) website.
v Arcconf:
– Command Line Interface
– SMI-S support for VMware
