ARCHTTP PROXY SERVER INSTALLATION

5. ArcHttp Proxy Server Installation
Overview
After hardware installation, the SATA disk drives connected to the SATA
RAID controller must be configured and the volume set units initialized
before they are ready to use.
The user interface for these tasks can be accessed through the built-in
configuration and administration utility that resides in the controller's
firmware. It provides complete control and management of the con-
troller and disk arrays, eliminating the need for additional hardware or
software.
In addition, a software utility to configure the SATA RAID is provided
on the CD-ROM delivered with SATA card. This CD-ROM contains the
software utility that can monitor, test, and support the SATA RAID con-
troller. The software utility and McRAID storage manager can configure
and monitor the SATA RAID controller via ArcHttp Proxy Server. The
following table outlines their functions:
Configuration Utility
McBIOS RAID Manager
McRAID Storage Manager
(Via Archttp proxy server)
SAP Monitor (Single Admin portal to
scan for multiple RAID units in the net-
work, Via ArcHttp Proxy Server)
From version 1.6 and later, the HTTP management software (Archttp)
runs as a service or daemon, and have it automatically start the proxy
for all controllers found. This way the controller can be managed re-
motely without having to sign in the server. The HTTP management
software (Archttp) also has integrated the email notification. The email
notification can be configured in local or remote standard web browser.
Note:
If your controller have onboard LAN port, you dont need to install
ArcHttp proxy Server, you can use McRAID Storage Manager directly.
