If multiple systems on your network are in your storage space, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to monitor and manage all of them from one system.
The system that you’re working on is called the local system. All other systems in your storage space are remote systems. ‘Local’ and ‘remote’ are relative terms—when you are working on system A (local system), system B is a remote system; when you are working on system B (local system), system A is a remote system.
To manage remote systems from the local system, you log in to them. (Adaptec Storage Manager encrypts the user name and password of a remote system during log-in.) Adaptec Storage Manager or the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent must be running on the remote system before you can log in to it.
When you log in to a remote system, you add that system to the Enterprise View of Adaptec Storage Manager. (Show Me!)
Once you have logged in to a remote system, it is automatically included in the Enterprise View each time you start Adaptec Storage Manager from the local system. You can work with its controllers, disk drives, and logical devices as if they were part of your local system. You must log in with the proper permission level to complete the tasks you wish to perform.
From the menu bar, click Remote, then select Add managed system.
The Add Managed System window opens.
Enter the host name or TCP/IP address of the remote system.
Enter the startup port number of the remote system. The default port number is 34571.
If prompted, enter your user name and password. (Passwords are case sensitive.)
To save this user name and password, click inside the Save user name/password box.
Click Connect.
Adaptec Storage Manager connects to the remote system and adds it to the list of managed systems in the Enterprise View.
To manage the remote system, select it in the Enterprise View. Enter your user name and password if prompted.
If you no longer want to monitor a remote system, you can remove it from the Enterprise View. Removing a remote system does not take it off-line.
To remove a remote system:
In the menu bar, select Remote, select Remove managed system, then click the system you want to remove.
The Remove Managed System window opens.
If you want to continue receiving events from the remote system after it has been removed from the local system, select Continue to receive events from the remote system from the drop-down menu.
Click OK.
