Using Array Manager to Manage Your Storage System

Dell OpenManage™ Array Manager software provides a comprehensive storage management solution with an integrated

graphical view. From a single location, Array Manager enables you to configure and manage local and remote storage

attached to a server while the server is online and continuing to process requests.

Array Manager obtains information about storage devices and the logical volumes contained on those devices. Array Manager

displays storage configuration information in both physical and logical views. The physical view shows the physical

connections among the storage devices. The logical view shows a logical representation of your storage as logical volumes.

From the Array Manager console, you can perform the following:

Create and manage software and hardware RAID solutions
