Chapter 5 proRAID Manager
The RAID subsystem is managed through the controller's Ethernet connection. Any
PC on the network to which the RAID subsystem is connected can manage the
subsystem using proRAID Manager. proRAID Manager is web-based GUI that is
supported on many OS platforms.
This chapter describes the steps that you need to take to get ProRAID Manager up
and how to use it on your system.
5.1 Connecting with proRAID Manager
By default, DHCP is enabled on the RAID subsystem and therefore no further
configuration is needed.
There are three ways to connect with proRAID Manager.
a. Connecting with ProRAID Manager using DHCP
b. Connecting with ProRAID Manager using Static IP
c. Connecting with ProRAID Manager using APIPA
NOTE: The RAID controller's IP address can be seen from the LCD
display panel. Press the
Controller IP menu.
5.1.1 Pre-setting a Static IP Using Serial Port
You can also connect directly to the RAID controller via the RS232 Serial Port on
the controller. Using a terminal emulation program such as 'HyperTerminal' you can
hard set the controller IP address.
Connect phone-jack-to-DB9 serial cable to the controller's RS232 port and to your
computer's COM port. Then start terminal session with settings as follows: Bits per
second: 115200, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, and Flow Control: None.
After connecting, login as "netadmin" without password. The screen will show the
current IP setting. To assign static IP, type "set ip <ip_address> <net_mask>
<gateway>".
