Infortrend RAID Controller Manual

13-2
13.1.1 Local Management via In-band SCSI
For local management, the RAID controller is connected to the host
via a SCSI cable attached to the host computer’s SCSI adapter.
13.1.2 Remote Management via SNMP
Network setup utilizes the network bandwidth of 10 Mbps (million
bits per second) for Ethernet, 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet. And you can
manage the disk array system from another Text RAID Manager
station on the network.
Network setup requires running the Text RAID Manager on the target
manager station(s), and enabling the SNMP service on the local host.
The In-band SCSI Text RAID Manager is a text-based, menu-driven
utility for configuring and monitoring the RAID controller. Operation
is quite similar to the age-old Internet utility TELNET. Because of its
nature, it is not suited to remote operation for keystrokes and screen
displays would then be handled remotely and would result in very
poor responsiveness. As a result, operation is restricted to a local host.
Remote operation over a LAN/WAN through a locally-installed
SNMP subagent is not supported. The Text RAID Manager is
available for the following operating systems:
◊ MS-DOS
◊ Windows 95/98
◊ Windows NT/2000 (x86 and Alpha)
◊ NetWare
◊ SCO OpenServer
◊ SCO UnixWare
◊ Solaris (x86 and SPARC)
◊ Linux
