RAIDWatch User’s Manual
User’s Manual Overview
Congratulations on your decision to use Infortrend’s RAIDWatch
management software program. This management program allows you to
control and monitor disk array subsystems from a local host, a remote
station connected through a local area network (LAN), In-band host links, or
the Internet.
This manual discusses how to install and use RAIDWatch to manage disk
array systems incorporating Infortrend’s Fibre-to-Fibre, Fibre-to-
SATA/SAS, SCSI-to-SATA/SAS, iSCSI-to-SATA, and SCSI-to-SCSI
subsystems, or the EonRAID 2510FS series controllers. Please note that
RAIDWatch does not support drive enclosure displays manufactured by
other vendors.
In addition to RAIDWatch, you can also use the on-board COM port or
LCD keypad panel to manage the EonStor subsystems or systems that
incorporate the EonRAID disk array controllers. For more information about
these programs, see the documentation that came with your hardware.
