Overview of Adaptec CI/O Management
Software
This User's Guide explains how to use the Adaptec CI/O
Management Software most effectively. Use the Contents and Index
to find instructions for specific software commands. You can use the
Adaptec CI/O Management Software to perform the following
functions:
Monitor the status of SCSI devices, arrays, and other devices
on the local system or remote server. The CI/O software sends
status updates (event notifications) from multiple remote
servers. You can simultaneously monitor servers running
under different operating systems.
Set up regularly scheduled verification of fault-tolerant arrays
and testing of spares. We recommend that you respond
immediately to arrays in Critical status by promptly replacing a
failed disk using a spare.
Use Adaptec CI/O Management Software, running either on
the local console or on a networked client, to add, delete, or
reconfigure arrays after the system has already been in use.
(You need special access rights to change the system
configuration.)
Use the password feature to prevent unauthorized users from
changing your array configuration.
Ensure that arrays are adequately protected with a spare pool
(recommended) or dedicated spares. You can create and delete
spares with the Adaptec CI/O Management Software.
