4.2 SuperCheck Administration
Once installation is complete, you may begin using the SuperCheck utility. There
are still a few things that need to be configured before your SuperCheck install and
administration are complete. This section will outline tasks necessary to complete
SuperCheck Administration. See section 4.3, “SuperCheck Task Quick
Reference” for details on executing each task. Please refer to Chapter 5 for a
complete visual technical reference of the SuperCheck utility.
After you have reviewed and implemented each task below, your SuperCheck
installation will be complete. At this point, you will be ready to use your
SuperTrak66 RAID server for workload I/Os. Configure your array(s) for operation by
partitioning and formatting them under the standard Windows NT “Disk
Administrator.”
Creating Message Servers & Agents
The first time you run SuperCheck, there will be no Message Server, Message
Agent, or array attachments. To establish the server connections, you must
determine the TCP/IP address of the system that is running the SuperTrak66
Message Server. You may need your LAN administrator to provide this information.
See Section 4.1 for installation scenarios to determine where the Message Server
should be installed. Once you have identified the Message Server, perform the
“Create a new message server” task as detailed in the SuperCheck Task Quick
Reference, based on the Message Server system’s IP information.
Once the Message Server has been connected successfully, double-click on the
Message Server icon to expand the hierarchical tree to show all attached Message
Agents. Log into an attached Message Agent for access to the particular
SuperTrak66 system under the Agent’s control.
Adding/Deleting New Users
If additional users require access to a SuperTrak66 Message Agent, the system
administrator must create a "new user" under the Message Agent. Each user may
be given access to various levels of control by an admin. A
“User / Administrator” may create/delete other user accounts. “Array
Administration” and “Adapter Maintenance Rights” boxes allow access to specific
functions of the system.
NOTE: Don’t forget to set a password for any user who has anything more than
viewing privileges on a secure network.
Setting Up A New Array
Setting up an array is considered a simple task. Consideration should be given as
to the type and configuration of the array. Please see Chapter 6 for RAID
configuration ideas and then perform the task of creating the new array (see p. 16)
