6-1 About Adaptec Storage Manager
The Adaptec Storage Manager allows administrators to build a storage space for
online data by grouping disk drives into logical drives. The logic drive protect data
through redundancy.
The Adaptec Storage Manager also allows administrators to manage controllers
and drives from one work station. This includes DAS and NAS.
Installing the Adaptec Storage Manager automatically installs the Adaptec Storage
Manager agent. The agent is a service (running in the background) that monitors
system health, events notifications, and other processes on the system.
For more information, see the Adaptec Storage Manager online Help, or documenta-
tion included on the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD.
Note: FreeBSD does not support the Adaptec Storage Manager to create/configure
arrays. Use theARC utility instead.
