represent configuration levels, physical and logical drives, and logical
volumes on the screen, and to identify the current configuration of a disk
array system. Pull-down, right-click, and pop-up menus are used with all
command options.
You need only point-and-click a mouse button to select an icon or
command. The program also displays the current status of various disk
drives or enclosure components by changing the color of their respective
LED icons.
With an easy-to-use interface, complicated disk array operations such as
logical drive and logical volume creation, drive partitioning, and drive
partition mapping to host channels/LUNs can be completed with just a few
mouse clicks.
The Central Management utility, an entrance portal to RAIDWatch,
provides convenient monitoring of Infortrend RAID subsystems in the
network. The utility also provides and instant event log, which can be
exported to a text file.
