The ARMServer Process

The ARMServer Process
The ARMServer process is the server portion of the ARM software. It monitors the operation and
performance of the disk array, and services external requests from clients executing disk array commands.
The ARMServer process monitors disk array performance and status, maintains disk array logs, initiates
diagnostics, and allows clients to examine and change the disk array configuration.
The ARMServer process must be running to allow management of the disk array using the ARM command
line utilities. Because of its importance in managing the disk arrays, the ARMServer process should be
launched automatically when the system is booted. Host I/Os to the disk array are not dependent on the
ARMServer process and are serviced regardless of whether the ARMServer process is running or not.
