Overview of Adaptec CI/O Management

Software

This User’s Guide explains how to use the Adaptec CI/O

Management Software most effectively. Use the Contents and Index

to find instructions for specific software commands. You can use the

Adaptec CI/O Management Software to perform the following

functions:

■Monitor the status of SCSI devices, arrays, and other devices

on the local system or remote server. The CI/O software sends

status updates (event notifications) from multiple remote

servers. You can simultaneously monitor servers running

under different operating systems.

■Set up regularly scheduled verification of fault-tolerant arrays

and testing of spares. We recommend that you respond

immediately to arrays in Critical status by promptly replacing a

failed disk using a spare.

■Use Adaptec CI/O Management Software, running either on

the local console or on a networked client, to add, delete, or

reconfigure arrays after the system has already been in use.

(You need special access rights to change the system

configuration.)

■Use the password feature to prevent unauthorized users from

changing your array configuration.

■Ensure that arrays are adequately protected with a spare pool

(recommended) or dedicated spares. You can create and delete

spares with the Adaptec CI/O Management Software.
