Starting the Adaptec Storage Manager agent

The Adaptec Storage Manager agent is a monitoring agent for controllers that uses less memory than the Adaptec Storage Manager graphical user interface (GUI). You can manage and configure a server running the agent through an Adaptec Storage Manager GUI running on another system.
