Preface

About Software for

Xserve RAID Systems

You can set up and manage an Xserve RAID system from

a host computer or a remote computer.

You use three applications to configure and monitor your Xserve RAID system. Two of

these applications, RAID Admin and Fibre Channel Utility, are included on a CD with the

system. (In some instances, the CD with RAID Admin and Fibre Channel Utility is

supplied with other systems or cards as well.) You also can download the latest version

of RAID Admin and Fibre Channel Utility using Software Update in System Preferences.

The third application, Disk Utility, is part of Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.

You use RAID Admin to set up the Xserve RAID hardware, including:

•

Creating, deleting, and expanding RAID arrays (known as “hardware RAID”)

•

Monitoring the status of one or more Xserve RAID systems

•

Adjusting settings, including system name and password, network address for each

RAID controller, fibre channel communication speed, drive cache, and controller

cache

•

Setting up email notification for system alerts

•

Implementing advanced features, such as dividing arrays into “slices,” mapping arrays

to specific host computers (LUN masking), and updating the firmware of an Xserve

RAID system.

You use the Fibre Channel Utility to view and modify settings on the Apple Fibre

Channel PCI Card, including:

•

Identifying the World Wide Node Name (WWNN) and World Wide Port Name (WWPN)

associated with each card port

•

Setting the fibre channel speed from the host card

•

Setting the fibre channel topology from the host card

•

Setting the hard loop ID

You use Disk Utility for:

•

Mounting arrays on the host system (which includes putting the file system on arrays

and creating volumes)

•

Implementing software RAID (striping or mirroring two or more RAID arrays)
