About Adaptec Storage Manager

Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition is a web-based
application that supports managing storage either locally (at the
system in which the storage controller is installed), or remotely
(from another system).

Any system containing an Adaptec storage controller that has
Windows or Linux and a supported browser installed can be
managed locally. Supported browsers are:

Windows

Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0 or later

Netscape 6 or later

Linux

Adaptec-supplied and installed version of Mozilla

Netscape 6 or later

These same Windows and Linux systems can also be managed
remotely. This can be achieved in two ways:

Installing Adaptec Storage Manager on the remote system.

Directing the browser on the remote system to the system you
want to manage.

Note:

If you want to manage from a Linux system it is

recommended that you install Adaptec Storage Manager on
the remote system and use the Adaptec-supplied version of
Mozilla as the browser.

For Unix and NetWare installations, Adaptec Storage Manager can
only be used to manage the system remotely. Local management is
supported using the CLI.

The following explanation of the software architecture will help
you understand the possible configurations and determine which
one is most appropriate for your application. Installation
instructions are included in the Adaptec SCSI RAID Installation
Guide
supplied on the same CD as this document.
