4 SATARAID5 ARRAY MANAGER

4.1 OVERVIEW

The SATARAID5 Array Manager is the Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) which allows you to create and
manage RAID volumes. The Manager initially shows two windows as seen below.

The RAID Groups window identifies SATA host adapters and configured RAID groups. For systems with
more than one Silicon Image Host Bus Adapter installed, you can switch between cards by selecting the
desired card in the RAID Groups Window.

When a controller is selected, the RAID Groups currently defined on that controller are also shown in the
RAID Groups Window. Selecting a specific RAID Group will highlight the segments associated with that
volume in the Device Configuration Window.

The Device Configuration window identifies all physical drives and their partitions.

Throughout the Manager, different colors are used to indicate the status of the components. The meanings
of the colors are:

COLOR STATUS

Green Good. The component and all subcomponents are okay.

Yellow

Warning. This component or at least one subcomponent has
become degraded and requires service.

Red

Failed. This component or at least one subcomponent has
failed.

Grey

Unused.
