Chapter 9: Managing Your Storage Space

About Adaptec Storage Manager
Adaptec Storage Manager is a full-featured software application that helps you build a storage 
space for your online data, using Adaptec RAID controllers and disk drives. 
With Adaptec Storage Manager, you can group disk drives into logical drives and build in 
redundancy to protect your data and improve system performance. 
From a single workstation, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to monitor and manage all 
the controllers and disk drives in your storage space.
When Adaptec Storage Manager is installed on a computer, the Adaptec Storage Manager agent 
is also installed automatically. The agent is like a service that keeps your storage space running. 
It’s designed to run in the background, without user intervention, and its job is to monitor and 
manage system health, event notifications, task schedules, and other on-going processes on 
that system. It sends notices when tasks are completed successfully, and sounds an alarm when 
errors or failures occur on that system.
The agent uses less memory than the full application. If your storage space includes systems 
that won’t be connected to monitors (and therefore won’t require the user interface), you can 
choose to run the agent only on those systems instead of the full application. For more 
information, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager online Help, or to the Adaptec Storage 
Manager User’s Guide 
on the Adaptec Installation DVD.
Installing Adaptec Storage Manager
Adaptec Storage Manager is included on the Adaptec Installation DVD. For installation 
instructions, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager User’s Guide, also included on the 
installation DVD.
