RAIDWatch Manager

RAIDWatch Manager TM
The RAIDWatch Manager GUI is a sophisticated RAID
management interface that can be run locally on any
platform that supports Java Runtime 1.4.2 or
remotely over a LAN/WAN on a Java Applet opened by
a web browser. RAIDWatch comes with a diverse
range of features in an easy-to-use online
environment.
Compatible with Infortrend's EonStor RAID
subsystems and the EonRAID 2510FS controllers,
RAIDWatch Manager provides a user-friendly
graphical interface for configuring and monitoring
RAID systems. The manager's visualized
representations of array components make array
configuration convenient by allowing monitoring of
multiple arrays "at-a-glance."
SPECIFICATIONS
. Multiple RAID Monitoring: monitoring and managing
almost unlimited number of arrays
. Support for all standard RAID configurations:
monitor and configure logical drive/logical volume,
parity configuration, controller self-diagnosis, host
-side and drive-side SCSI parameters, controller
optimization modes, LUN Filtering settings, system
functions, etc.
. Browser Applet support for remote connection or
Java application for local management; runs locally
on platforms that support Java Runtime 1.4.2 or
remotely over a LAN/WAN on a Java Applet opened
by a browser
. Client side management on Windows platform
compatible with Java 1.4.2 or higher
. Graphical-oriented configuration options
. Online RAID expansion
. Statistics window dedicated to cache hits and
sustained read/write performance
. Standard TCP/IP connections to Internet agents
. Support for SAF-TE, S.E.S., ISEMS (Infortrend
Simple Enclosure Management Service via I2 C) for
failure reporting of drive, fan, temperature, and
power supply condition monitoring
. Controller events managed by a separately installed
Configuration Client utility program. The program
runs independently from the RAIDWatch
management application.
. Event Notification to any location via email, LAN
broadcast, SNMP traps, fax, ICQ, or MSN Messenger
. Convenient event filtering functionality for sorting
the display of events by severity, description, and
time of occurrence
. "At-a-glance" management of the entire array in
separated Front view, Enclosure view and
Configuration windows
. Disk drives enclosure-oriented view for easy
identification and display of failed drive location
REMOTE MANAGEMENT
RAIDWatch supports remote array management
over a LAN or the Internet using hybrid TCP/IP
agents. The RAID controller installed in a host with
the hybrid agent will accept requests from a remote
station running RAIDWatch Manager. Responses
from the RAID subsystems are forwarded to the
manager via the same path. The manager can also
connect remotely using any standard web browser
via the Internet, providing "install once, run
anywhere" convenience. With Internet support, an
operation center in Seattle can manage company
RAIDs in San Francisco, Hong Kong, and London, all
from a single desktop.

ACCESS LEVELS
ADVANCED FIRMWARE FUNCTIONALITY
RAIDWatch provides three access levels, two with
password protection, to protect the configured arrays
from unauthorized meddling. These access levels
correspond with the tree structure of the
configuration windows: Information, Maintenance,
and Configuration. This allows clear segregation of
accesses to different array information and
configuration tasks.
RAIDWatch supports the latest firmware
functionality such as Scheduled Tasks, Event
Triggered Operations, and Media Scan.
Maintenance operations, i.e., Media Scan, can be
scheduled with preset start times and intervals.
Maintenance tasks will then be performed on an
entire array or specific hard drives. Various options
are user-configurable such as priority, start time,
and execution intervals.
ENCLOSURE VIEW
The RAIDWatch Enclosure View is a specialized
customization that shows a direct representation of
an Infortrend EonStor subsystem or an EonRAID
controller head in various enclosure view panels of
the RAIDWatch screen. The image is an accurate
representation of the physical device and status
messages of all the active components, and LEDs
appear when a mouse cursor is dragged over the
respective component. Failed components are easily
seen as the corresponding device usually appears
with an LED lit red, which indicates a failed
component.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
RAID Manager Running on the Host (Server
Side)
. Pentium (or above) PC-compatible running
Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 that supports Java
Runtime 1.4.2 or higher
RAID Manager Running on Remote Station
(Client Side)
. Host must be Pentium (or above) PC-compatible
running Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 that supports
Java Runtime 1.4.2 or higher
. Remote station running Netscape v 4.5 or IE 5.0 (or
above), Java Runtime 1.4.2 (for particular platform)
ARRAY MANAGEMENT
Configuration of disk drives is easily completed using
a few mouse clicks on the graphical representations
of actual drive trays. Enclosure views can be made to
reflect a variety of configurations, and drives
included in a logical configuration are displayed using
icons of the same color. Drive status is monitored in
an enclosure-relative context. If a drive fails, a failed
drive image will appear at the location that
corresponds to the location of the failed physical
drive. This function reduces the possibility of
unplugging the wrong drive during a drive failure.
CONFIGURATION CLIENT
(UTILITY FOR CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT)
RAIDWatch supports a variety of notification options
when an event occurs. Events are classified into
three severity levels: notifications, warnings, and
alerts. Several notification methods are available:
email, LAN broadcast, fax, SNMP traps, ICQ, and MSN
Messenger.
The configuration client program is associated with
the root agent module of the software and can be
launched automatically on boot-up, allowing easy
association with multiple arrays. The notification
utility itself can also be installed redundantly on two
different computers to guarantee users will be
notified of events under any circumstances.
