2.3 Setup Notes

- Do not attempt to install Adaptec Storage Manager version 4.0

on a system that already has Adaptec Storage Manager version

3.20 installed. Uninstall the old version first.

- To run Adaptec Storage Manager under Red Hat Enterprise Linux for

x64, the Standard installation with "Compatibility Arch Support"

is required.

- To install Adaptec Storage Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux,

you must install two packages from the Red Hat installation CD:

o compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm

o compat-libstdc++--devel-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm

NOTE: The version string in the file name may be different

than above. Be sure to check the version string on the

Red Hat CD.

For example, type:

rpm --install /mnt/compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm

where mnt is the mount point of the CD-ROM drive.

- To install Adaptec Storage Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4,

you must install the following package from the Red Hat

installation CD:

o xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-23.i386.rpm

NOTE: The version string in the file name may be different

than above. Be sure to check the version string on

the Red Hat CD.

- To run Adaptec Storage Manager under Red Hat Enterprise Linux

AS 3 Quarterly Update 3 for AMD64, you must add the

'noexec32=off' argument to the boot kernel command line.

Then, restart the system.

- You can configure Adaptec Storage Manager settings on other

servers exactly as they are configured on one server. To

replicate the Adaptec Storage Manager tree and notification list,

do the following:

1. Install Adaptec Storage Manager on one server.

2. Start Adaptec Storage Manager. Using the 'Add remote system'

action, define the servers for your tree.

3. Open the Notification Manager. Using the 'Add system'

action, define the notification list.

4. Exit Adaptec Storage Manager.

5. Copy the following files onto a diskette from the directory

where the Adaptec Storage Manager is installed:

RaidMSys.ser --> to replicate the tree

RaidNLst.ser --> to replicate the notification list

RaidSMTP.ser --> to replicate the SMTP e-mail notification list

RaidJob.ser --> to replicate the jobs in the Task Scheduler

6. Install Adaptec Storage Manager on the other servers.

7. Copy the files from the diskette into the directory where

Adaptec Storage Manager is installed on the other servers.

- Adaptec Storage Manager can monitor status information returned

from certain enclosures. If there are any problems, information

such as fan status, power supply status, and temperature status

is collected and reported in the event viewer.

To monitor an enclosure, do the following:

1. Write down the description displayed in the 'Product or

Model Number' field of the enclosure device information

panel.

2. Exit Adaptec Storage Manager.

3. Using a text editor, open the RaidDev.pps file. This file

is in the directory where Adaptec Storage Manager is

installed.

4. Using the enclosure description from step 1, add a line to

the file. For example, if the description is 3520EX10, add

the following:

3520EX10=true

5. Save and close the file.

6. Restart Adaptec Storage Manager.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Adaptec Storage Manager Cautions and Notes

3.1 General Cautions

- While an array is being built or cleared, do not remove and

reinsert any drive from that array. Doing so may cause

unpredictable results for any of the controller's arrays.

- While a drive is being cleared, do not try to include it in a

new array. Doing so may cause unpredictable results.

- Do not move drives containing an array or volume from one

controller to another while the power is on. Doing so could

cause the loss of the array configuration or data, or both.

Instead, power off both affected controllers, move the drives,

and then restart.

- Do not run Adaptec Storage Manager concurrently with the CLI. Doing

so may cause unpredictable results.

3.2 General Notes

- Adaptec Storage Manager requires that the following range of ports

be open for remote access: 34571 - 34575.

- You can run Adaptec Storage Manager from a browser only under

Windows operating systems using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5

and later and with the Sun Java VM, V1.4.2_05 or later and the

Sun browser plug-in. The standalone GUI is supported under all

supported operating systems.

- To run Adaptec Storage Manager in a browser, your network's DNS

configuration must have matching forward and reverse lookups.

Point your browser to http://yourcomputername:34572.

- Adaptec Storage Manager generates log files automatically to

assist in tracking system activity. The log files are

created in the directory where the Adaptec Storage Manager is

installed.

o RaidEvt.log - Contains the information reported in the

Adaptec Storage Manager event viewer for all

local and remote systems.

o RaidEvtA.log - Contains the information reported in the

Adaptec Storage Manager event viewer for the

local system.

o RaidNot.log - Contains the information reported in the

Notification Manager event viewer.

o RaidErr.log - Contains Java messages generated by

Adaptec Storage Manager.

o RaidErrA.log - Contains Java messages generated by the

Adaptec Storage Manager agent.

Information written to these files is appended to the existing

files to maintain a history. However, if any of the files reach

a size of 200,000 bytes, the file is copied to a new file with

the extension .OLD and the original (that is, the LOG file) is

deleted and recreated. If a .OLD file already exists, the

existing .OLD file is destroyed.

- The blink LED feature is supported only in SAF-TE enabled

enclosures.

- In the Event viewer, Adaptec Storage Manager reports both the

initial build task for an array, and a subsequent Verify/Fix,

as a "Build/Verify" task.

- Performing a Verify and Verify/Fix on a RAID 10 displays the

same message text in the event viewer, such as "Build/Verify

started on second level array of array 'Array_0.'" You may see the

message three times for a Verify, but only once for a Verify/Fix.

- Task priority is not retained after rebooting. If you change

a priority to LOW or MEDIUM, and reboot, the controller resets the

priority to the default (HIGH).

- When an array fails, the array name returns to its default name.

- When displaying information about a physical device, the device,

vendor and model information may be displayed incorrectly.

- After building or verifying a leg of a second-level array, the

status of the second-level array is displayed as a "Quick

Initialized" array.

- After using a hot spare to successfully rebuild a redundant

array, information about the hot spare drive may not display

as expected. Adaptec Storage Manager may continue to display

it as a global hot spare.

- If you initialize one or more drives in a snapshot source array,

the snapshot target cannot be deleted. To avoid creating a snapshot

drive that cannot be deleted, you must delete the snapshot drive

first, before you initialize the drives in the source array.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Array Level-Specific Notes

4.1 RAID 1 and RAID 5 Notes

- During array migration from a RAID 1 or RAID 5 to a RAID 0, if

the original array had a spare drive attached, the resulting

RAID 0 retains the spare drive.

4.2 RAID 10 Notes

- You cannot change the priority of a RAID-10 verify. Setting

the priority at the start of a verify has no effect. The

priority is still shown as high. Changing the priority of

a running verify on a raid-10 changes the displayed priority

until a rescan is done, then the priority shows as high again.

- Performing a Verify and Verify/Fix on an RAID 10 displays the

same message text in the event log, "Build/Verify started on

second level array of array 'Array_0.'" You may see the message

three times for a Verify, but only once for a Verify/Fix.

- During a migration from a RAID 0 to any redundant array like

RAID 5 or 10, Adaptec Storage Manager shows the status as

"Degraded Reconfiguring" for a moment, then the status changes

to "Reconfiguring." The "Degraded" status does not appear in the

event log.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Operating System-Specific Issues

5.1 All

- Adaptec Storage Manager will not start on a system that uses

only 16 colors. Adaptec Storage Manager supports a minimum of 256

colors. You must switch the video mode from 16 colors to a mode

with at least 256 colors.

- If the Adaptec Storage Manager console does not repaint correctly,

select the View->Refresh menu item to repaint the screen.

5.2 Windows - All

- To run Adaptec Storage Manager in a browser, your network's

DNS configuration must have matching forward and reverse

lookups.

- The Java Virtual Machine has a problem with the 256-color

palette. (The Adaptec Storage Manager display may be distorted

or hard to read.) Set the Display Properties Settings to a

color mode with greater than 256 colors.

- If the network connection is disconnected while the Adaptec

Storage Manager agent is running, the agent cannot communicate

with the Adaptec Storage Manager console. As a result, Adaptec

Storage Manager will not report task status in the Event

viewer. Reestablish network commmunication; then, restart the

Adaptec Storage Manager agent and console.

- When you shut down Windows, you might see the message

"unexpected shutdown". Windows displays this message if the

Adaptec Storage Manager Agent fails to exit within 3 seconds.

It has no affect on file I/O or other system operations and can

be ignored.

5.3 Windows 2000

- More event notifications are generated than arrays degraded.

For example, in a configuration with four RAID 5s sharing

three drives, one failed drive causes six notifications--one for

each of the arrays affected, plus two extra for the second array.

5.4 Windows for EM64T and AMD-64

- Adapters do not produce an audible alarm on 64-bit Windows

operating systems, including:

° Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

° Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (all versions)

5.5 Linux

- When you delete an array, the operating system can no longer see

the last array. WORKAROUND: To allow Linux to see the last array,

restart your system.

- The controller does not support attached CD drives during OS

installation.

- To remotely manage a Linux system from a Windows system, you must

use the standalone GUI.

- If you cannot connect to a local or remote Adaptec Storage Manager

installed on a Linux system, verify that the TCP/IP hosts file

is configured properly.

1. Open the /etc/hosts file.

NOTE: The following is an example:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost matrix

2. If the hostname of the system is identified on the line

with 127.0.0.1, you must create a new host line.

3. Remove the hostname from the 127.0.0.1 line.

NOTE: The following is an example:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

4. On a new line, type the IP address of the system.

5. Using the Tab key, tab to the second column and enter the

fully qualified hostname.

6. Using the Tab key, tab to the third column and enter the

nickname for the system.

NOTE: The following is an example of a completed line:

1.1.1.1 matrix.localdomain matrix

where 1.1.1.1 is the IP address of the server and

matrix is the hostname of the server.

7. Restart the server for changes to take effect.

- With Linux kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6, the ARCCONF

DELETE <logical_drive> command may fail with a Kernel Oops

error message. Even though the drives are removed from the

Adaptec Storage Manager console, they may not really be deleted.

Reboot the controller; then, issue the ARCCONF DELETE command

again.

- On certain versions of Linux, you may see messages concerning font

conversion errors. Font configuration under X-Windows is a known

JVM problem. It does not affect the proper operation of the

Adaptec Storage Manager software. To suppress these messages,

add the following line to your .Xdefaults file:

stringConversionWarnings: False

- On rare occasions, the online help system may generate a Java

exception. This is due to a known problem in the HTML rendering

section of JFC/Swing.

5.6 Novell NetWare

- When starting the NetWare operating system, the Adaptec Storage

Manager agent may fail to start. A message "The Storage Manager

agent failed to start" displays when starting the server.

The server is unable to load the Storage Manager agent. This is

usually caused by loading Java before the Storage Manager agent.

In the file Autoexec.ncf, move the line "LOAD RAIDAGNT -BOOT"

so that it is before any lines that reference Java.

- A NetWare system can run only one instance of the Adaptec Storage

Manager agent.

- Under Novell NetWare 6.5, you cannot initialize a drive using

Adaptec Storage Manager. You must use the BIOS Array

Configuration Utility (ARC).
