Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition
Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition consists of the three
major components:
■ A supported web browser, which should already be installed
on the system.
■ The Adaptec web service which supplies content displayed on
the web browser.
■ An Adaptec-supplied storage agent.
For a locally managed system, all three components will be
installed on the same system.
To support the remote management configurations described
below, all components must be installed on systems that have a
TCP/IP connection through which the other component(s) can be
accessed.
All communication uses Secure-HTTP (S-HTTP) or SSL protocols
to encrypt all data transmitted and ensure security. Connection
over an Ethernet network, a corporate WAN, or VPN are
supported.
Several remote management configurations are possible:
■ The browser will always be on a remote system.
■ The storage agent will always be installed on the system with
the storage controller installed.
■ The web service can be installed on the same remote system as
the browser, the system with the storage controller installed on
a third system.
The storage agent is supplied for all supported operating systems,
while the web service is available only for Windows and Linux. In
order for Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition to manage
storage on a UNIX or NetWare system, the storage agent must
communicate with the Adaptec web service on a separate
Windows or Linux system.
In this configuration, the Windows or Linux system can either be
used to manage the RAID controller, or act as a server
communicating with a supported browser on a third system.
