What's
new in the ServeRAIDTM
Manager 4.20
The latest version of the ServeRAID
Manager has the following new features:
- RAID level-00, 10, 1E0, and 50
Use these RAID levels to configure spanned arrays into logical drives that
can include a maximum of 60 physical drives.
- ServeRAID Manager agent (Not
available when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.)
Install the agent to monitor remote systems. Using the ServeRAID Manager program
on a local system, you can configure the ServeRAID Manager agent on both the
remote and local systems. The
ServeRAID Manager agent does not include the graphical user interface, therefore
it uses significantly less resources. On Window NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, you
can install the agent as a service.
- SNMP Trap Manager (Not available
when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.)
Use this feature to notify other systems running an SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) console (such as Netfinity(R) Director
or IT Director) of all SNMP traps that occur on this (that is, the local)
system.
- Netfinity EXP 300 enclosure support
- Physical drive self tests.
These self tests validate whether a physical drive is functional. If a drive
is marked defunct, this action might provide additional information that IBM
service representatives can use to diagnose the problem.
- Red Hat Linux support (Not
available when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.)
Use the ServeRAID Manager to configure, administer, and monitor systems running
Red Hat Linux 6.1, or later.
- SCO OpenServer support (Not
available when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.)
Use the ServeRAID Manager to configure, administer, and monitor systems running
SCO OpenServer.
