Servicing the IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA II Controllers –Storage Management Tools
Storage Management Tools
The user has the choice of three tools to manage storage tasks and monitor
activities for the M5014 and M5015 controllers:
1) MegaRAID Storage Manager - MSM
A Powerful management GUI used to complete many advanced storage
management operations such as RAID Level Migration, adding HotSpares, etc.
2) WebBIOS Configuration Utility (CU)
A CU used to create and manage RAID configurations on ServeRAID-MR
controllers. Unlike the MegaRAID Storage Manager software, the WebBIOS CU
resides in the SAS controller BIOS and operates independently of the operating
system.
3) Command Line Tool - CLI
A CLI Application for SAS, used to configure, monitor, and maintain Sanford SAS
RAID storage adapters and the devices connected to them.
This section describes each of the storage management tools in more detail.
