Reboot the Windows server, and verify that the correct version of the RAID Manager software
is running on your system by executing the raidqry command:

D:\HORCM\etc> raidqry -h
Model: P9000 Raid-Manager-XP/WindowsNT
Ver&Rev: 01.30.xx
Usage: raidqry [options] for HORC

A warning message for security may appear at the initial start-up depending on the OS settings.
Specify "Temporarily Allow" or "Always Allow" in the dialog box.

Changing the RAID Manager user (Windows systems)

Usually, RAID Manager commands can be executed only by the system administrator in order to
directly open the PhysicalDrive.

When an administrator of RAID Manager does not have an "administrator" privilege or there is
a difference between the system administrator and the RAID Manager administrator, the RAID
Manager administrator can use RAID Manager commands as follows:

System Administrator Tasks

1.

Add a user_name to the PhysicalDrive.

Add the user name of the RAID Manager administrator to the Device Objects of the command
device for HORCM_CMD in the configuration definition file. For example:

C:\HORCM\tool\>chgacl /A:RMadmin Phys
PhysicalDrive0 -> \Device\Harddisk0\DR0
\\.\PhysicalDrive0 : changed to allow 'RMadmin'

2.

Add a user_name to the Volume{GUID}.

If the RAID Manager administrator needs to use the "-x mount/umount" option for RAID
Manager commands, the system administrator must add the user name of the RAID Manager
administrator to the Device Objects of the Volume{GUID}. For example:

C:\HORCM\tool\>chgacl /A:RMadmin Volume
Volume{b0736c01-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} -> \Device\CdRom0
\\.\Volume{b0736c01-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} : changed to allow
'RMadmin'
Volume{b0736c00-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} -> \Device\HarddiskVolume1
\\.\Volume{b0736c00-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} : changed to allow
'RMadmin'

3.

Add a user_name to the ScsiX.

If the RAID Manager administrator needs to use the "-x portscan" option for RAID Manager
commands, the system administrator must add the user name of the RAID Manager administrator
to the Device Objects of the ScsiX. For example:

C:\HORCM\tool\>chgacl /A:RMadmin Scsi
Scsi0: -> \Device\Ide\IdePort0
\\.\Scsi0: : changed to allow 'RMadmin'
Scsi1: -> \Device\Ide\IdePort1
\\.\Scsi1: : changed to allow 'RMadmin '

Because the ACL (Access Control List) of the Device Objects is set every time Windows starts-up,
the Device Objects are also required when Windows starts-up. The ACL is also required when new
Device Objects are created.
