Interface (GUI)

Start the RAIDConsole GUI

Start RAIDConsole under Windows

Access RAIDConsole by using one of three methods:
• Click Start, then click the RAIDConsole icon:
• Select Start -> Programs [All Programs] -> RAIDCore -> RAIDCore Management Suite ->
RAIDConsole
• Click the RAIDConsole icon on the system desktop (if applicable).

Start RAIDConsole under Linux

1. Open a command prompt and type /usr/bin/bc_winraid.
NOTE: For most Linux systems, step 1 starts RAIDConsole and also starts the bc_service application that
logs events in the system, as well as starts the bcapiservice application that enables remote management.
NOTE: If these applications do not autostart, start them manually. The user can stop the applications and
keep them from autostarting next time by changing to the /etc/init.d/ directory from a console window.
Type the following:- For bc_service: bcserviced start | stop- For bcapiservice: bcapid start |
stop.
2. If you want a pop-up message to appear on the desktop when an event is detected by bc_service and
reported to the log, run the bcpopup application. Open a command prompt and type
/usr/bin/bcpopup.
3. Open the Security Level Configuration window by clicking Desktop at the menu bar.
4. Click System Settings.
5. Click Security Level.
6. At the Security Level Configuration window, select the SELinux tab.
7. Disable SELinux by un-clicking the first option. Or, change the policy from Enforcing to Permissive by
clicking the second option.
When RAIDConsole starts, the First Time Run window opens and inquires whether password protection is
needed. See

Password Protection

Password Protection
It is strongly recommended that the RAIDConsole management application be protected by a password. Misuse
of the application by unauthorized and/or untrained personnel could result in destroyed data.
