RAID Configuration and Management Storage management applications enable you to manage and configure the RAID system, create and manage multiple disk groups, control and monitor multiple RAID systems, and provide online maintenance. The applications for Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) 5 controllers include: Dell OpenManage Storage Management SAS RAID Storage Manager BIOS Configuration Utility (Ctrl-R) Dell OpenManage Storage Management Dell OpenManage Storage Management is a storage management application for PowerEdge servers that provides enhanced features for configuring a system's locally-attached RAID and non-RAID disk storage. Dell OpenManage Storage Management enables you to perform controller and enclosure functions for all supported RAID and non-RAID controllers and enclosures from a single graphical or command-line interface without requiring the use of the controller BIOS utilities. The graphical user interface (GUI) is wizard-driven with features for novice and advanced users and detailed online help. The command line interface is fully-featured and scriptable. Using Dell OpenManage Storage Management, you can protect your data by configuring data-redundancy, assigning hot spares, or rebuilding failed physical disks. SAS RAID Storage Manager SAS RAID Storage Manager is a storage management application for PowerEdge SC servers and Dell Precision workstations. SAS RAID Storage Manager configures virtual disks, and monitors and maintains PERC 5 controllers, battery backup units, and other devices running on systems and workstations. It offers a graphical user interface (GUI) you can use to perform these tasks. BIOS Configuration Utility The BIOS Configuration Utility, also known as Ctrl-R, is a storage management application embedded on the PERC 5 controllers that configures and maintains RAID disk groups and virtual disks, and manages the RAID system. It is independent of any operating system. NOTE: The BIOS Configuration Utility is to be used for initial setup and disaster recovery. Advanced features can be set through Storage Management and SAS RAID Storage Manager. RAID Configuration and Management 49
