Managing RAID Using the MegaRAID Storage
Manager (MSM)
The MSM program enables you to configure the LSI-based integrated RAID
controller, physical disk drives, and virtual disk drives on your system. The
Configuration Wizard in the MSM program simplifies the process of creating disk
groups and virtual disk drives by guiding you through several simple steps to create
your storage configurations.
MSM works with the appropriate operating system (OS) libraries and drivers to
configure, monitor, and maintain storage configurations attached to x64 servers. The
MSM GUI displays device status in the form of icons, which represent the
controllers, virtual disk drives, and physical disk drives on your system. Special
icons appear next to the device icons on the screen to notify you of disk failures and
other events that require immediate attention. System errors and events are recorded
in an event log file and are displayed on the screen.
For information on using MSM, refer to the Sun LSI 106x RAID User's Guide for your
server on the Sun product documentation web site at:

Managing RAID Using the StorageTek RAID
Manager
For Sun servers with an Adaptec-based internal RAID controller, you can use the
Sun StorageTek RAID Manager graphical user interface (GUI), command line
interface (CLI) or the Adaptec Configuration Utility to build your storage space.
The Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software is an application that helps you
■
build a storage space for your online data. Your storage space can include direct-
attached or internal RAID storage. With the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager
software, you can group disk drives into logical drives and build in redundancy
to protect your data and improve system performance. You can also use the
software to monitor and manage all the HBAs, enclosures, and disk drives in your
storage space from a single location.
