SAF-TE Enclosure
Management
Adaptec CI/O Management Software provides easy management of
SAF-TE enabled enclosures. Enclosures that support SAF-TE
provide a standard, non-proprietary way for third party disk and
RAID controllers to be fully integrated with peripheral packaging
that supports status signals (LED's, audible alarm, LCD, etc.), hot
swapping of hard drives, and monitoring of enclosure components.
Adaptec CI/O Management Software periodically checks the status
of all elements (disks, power supplies, temperature, fans, etc.) of all
SAF-TE enclosures connected to SCSI controllers as well as RAID
controllers and generates associated events. These events can be
viewed through the Historic Log window and are reflected in the
Adaptec CI/O Management Software GUI. Also, CI/O will take the
following actions:
Reflecting the status on the enclosure: CI/O will take the
appropriate action such as changing the state of the LEDs on
the enclosure and setting alarms when it detects statuses such
as power supply failure or temperature out of range.
Insertion/Removal of devices: Insertion and removal of
devices from the enclosure is detected. If the removed drive is
a single disk, CI/O automatically starts the rescan operation. If
the removed drive is an array member, CI/O automatically
starts the array reconstruct operation if applicable, provided
there is at least one dedicated spare or pool spare.
