Spheras Storage Manager software
The storage management software has two main functions:
1. Configuring the RAID controller and the RAID groups.
2. Environment monitoring.
The Spheras Manager software described here can also be run on a SPARC
Solaris platform. Spheras is installed on the host server which runs multiple
Spheras agents.
CAUTION: Spheras can be installed on all the host systems connected up.
However, the Spheras agents can only be active on one host system at a
time.
The Spheras Manager software does not have to be installed on your system
administrator workstation because you can use it over a local network. You do
not necessarily require a system with a client-server architecture; you just need
to be able to download the Graphic User Interface (GUI) architecture with a Java
plug-in. This means that your system must have the necessary Java Runtime
Environment (JRE). The JRE compatible GUI communicates over the Local
Area Network (LAN) interface with the Spheras server and the Spheras agents
communicate with the FibreCAT S80.
You can download the Spheras Manager software executable files directly to
your system from the Storage Web site at http://www.fibrecat.com or
ftp://raid@ftp.fujitsu-siemens.com (password: 4jumbo17).
