8 Storge Console Plus
Introduction
Storage Console Plus (StorCon+) is a tool for setting up, monitoring and maintaining mass storage
subsystems based on Intel RAID Controller SRCMR. Different from Storage Console, StorCon+ is
a GUI style application, designed for the operation under Win32 Operating Systems. The primary
function of StorCon+ is to help the user accomplish the following tasks.
Setup Hard Disks Controlled by Intel RAID Controller SRCMR:
• Setup and initialize physical drives, change the SCSI parameters and cache settings.
• Easy setup and installation of single disks or array drives consisting of one or more physical
drives (chaining, RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 or 10).
• Online installation of host drives based on a single disk or an array drive.
Maintenance and Tuning of Existing Array Drives, Host Drives and Intel RAID Controller
SRCMR:
• Cache Memory Configuration
• Update the controller firmware
• Change the device parameters
• Check or recalculate the parity data of RAID 4 and RAID 5 array drives
• Online capacity expansion of array drives
• Split and merge host drives
• Hot Plug. Replace a failed member of an array drive
• Hot Fix. Configure a spare disk for an array drive
• Configure SAF-TE compliant enclosures
Monitoring of the Whole Subsystem
• Watch the performance and throughput of virtually every part of the subsystem. Simply
drag-and-drop the device on the statistics window.
• Check the hard disks for retries and reassigns (replacements of defective sectors on a hard disk)
to trace problems which might become potential in the future.
• Check the grown defect table of the hard disks to replace a defective drive in time.
Remote Configuration and Maintenance
• Except for the hot plug function, all of the above features can be accessed via network.
You can maintain and monitor a customer‘s server via the Internet.
• Supported protocols: IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, NetBIOS.
• The access to the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR can be protected by password. The password
is encrypted.
To install the StorCon+, use the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR tools program on the Intel RAID
Controller SRCMR System CD-ROM.
