maxView Storage Manager User's Guide
About the maxView Storage Manager Agent
When maxView Storage Manager is installed on a system, the maxView Storage Manager Agent is also
installed automatically. The Agent is designed to run in the background, without user intervention. Its
job is to monitor system health, manage event notifications, task schedules, and other on-going processes
on a system. It sends notices when tasks are completed successfully, and notifies you when errors or
failures occur on that system.
If your storage space includes systems that won't be connected to monitors (and therefore won't require
the graphical user interface), you can choose to run the Agent only on those systems instead of the full
application.
You can manage and monitor systems running the Agent only by logging into them as remote systems
(see
Starting maxView Storage Manager on Remote Systems
on page 35).
About the maxView Storage Manager Web Server
The maxView Storage Manager Web Server is an instance of the open-source Apache Tomcat servlet
container. It runs the maxView Storage Manager Web application, and serves static and dynamic content
to the maxView Storage Manager GUI. The maxView Web Server is installed automatically with maxView
Storage Manager and the maxView Storage Manager Agent.
About the maxView Storage Manager CIM Server
The maxView Storage Manager CIM Server is an instance of the open-source Pegasus CIM Object
Manager, or CIMOM. In maxView Storage Manager, the CIM Server manages the SMI-S hardware
provider and notification provider, which monitor the RAID controllers in your system and notify the
maxView Storage Manager Agent. The standards-based SMI-S provider enables your Adaptec RAID
controller to be managed with any standard CIM client. (For more information, contact your Adaptec
support representative.) The maxView Storage Manager CIM Server is installed automatically with
maxView Storage Manager and the maxView Storage Manager Agent.
