Arrays can be managed either locally

from a server console or remotely from

any PC on the network. In Windows

operating systems, Adaptec CI/O Array

Management software provides an

easy-to-use graphical user interface.

See the big picture. From a single

location, network managers can view

all the servers on the network that

have AAA-130 series array adapters.

Zero-in on individual servers and

arrays. Network managers can drill

down to view any server of interest.

They can see at a glance both physi-

cal and logical array configurations

that belong to that server. Plus, the

interface maps and monitors other

SCSI devices on the AAA-130 series

adapters as well as standalone hard

disk drives.

Keep track of everything that happens.

Alerts, color-coded by severity, keep

network managers informed of all

events throughout the network.

Adaptec CI/O Array Management

software captures detailed information,

including the affected server, date,

time, and a description of the event.

Event logs are collected on each network

server, not on the monitoring system.

This means that all events are reported,

even if the monitoring system has been

shut down for a time.

Pick and click to reconfigure arrays.

To reconfigure arrays from their PCs,

managers simply highlight the desired

number of drives. Adaptec CI/O Array

Management software presents allow-

able RAID level options. Then to help

simplify the decision, bar graphs show

the tradeoffs in data protection and

performance for each option as well

as the difference between available

and required storage capacity.

For security, certain actions, such as

deleting and reconstructing arrays, are

password protected.

Troubleshoot problems remotely.

Without leaving their desks, network

managers can:

• Determine which drives have failed

• Initialize arrays

• Reactivate offline arrays

• Verify parity information

• Blink individual drive lights or the

lights of all drives in an array

• Pause I/O to permit the replacement

of drives that are not hot-pluggable

Drives equipped with Self-monitoring,

Analysis and Reporting Technology

(S.M.A.R.T.) report predicted failures

to Adaptec CI/O Array Management

software. With this advance warning,

network managers can activate a spare

remotely before problems arise.

Schedule management activities.

Network managers can schedule activ-

ities, such as verifying all the disks in

each array, testing spare drives, and

reconstructing devices. These activities

are carried out automatically, on sched-

ule, whether the network manager is

in attendance or not.

Adaptec quality and reliability

The AAA-130 series affords the same

high standard of quality and reliability

that has made Adaptec a market

leader in I/O solutions.

As with all Adaptec products, Adaptec

AAA-130 series has passed the compre-

hensive functional and mechanical

inspections and tests in two separate

laboratories: the Adaptec Product Test

Lab and the Adaptec Compatibility

Test Lab.

Adaptec’s manufacturing facility has

earned ISO-9002 international certifica-

tion, which ensures compliance to a

high level of quality in product design

and production.

Trusted for quality and reliability,

Adaptec products are incorporated into

the products of virtually all major com-

puter and peripheral manufacturers.
