5.2 Power Console Plus Overview
Power Console Plus is an object-oriented GUI utility that lets you
efficiently configure and monitor RAID arrays locally or through a
network. The Power Console Plus utility runs on Windows XP,
Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 servers that are capable of
monitoring and being monitored.
The Power Console Plus utility provides an object oriented user interface;
the screen picture represents a physical or logical object. You can
right-click an object to display options for that object.
Note: The Power Console Plus utility requires at least Internet
Explorer 5.5. Be certain to install the latest Service Packs for
the Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003
operating systems.
With the Power Console Plus manager, you can perform the same tasks as
with the MegaRAID Manager. The Power Console Plus utility allows you to:
•
Add a drive to a RAID logical drive
•
Convert from a RAID 0 configuration to a RAID 1 or 5 configuration
by adding a physical drive
•
Change a degraded redundant logical drive to an Optimal RAID 0
logical drive
