ServeRAID Manager

Use the ServeRAID Manager task to configure, monitor, and maintain ServeRAID adapters or controllers that are installed locally or remotely on servers. You can view information that is related to controllers, arrays, logical drives, hot-spare drives, and hard disk drives. Also, you can view configuration settings and events (which are called notifications in the ServeRAID Manager task) and locate defunct hard disk drives.

Note: The ServeRAID Manager task for IBM Director is not the same program as the ServeRAID Manager (Standalone Edition) that is provided with the ServeRAID hardware option. It is recommended that you not install both versions on the same system.
