Adapter Management Utilities and Respective Operating Systems

HP NetRAID Assistant

HP NetRAID Assistant is an object-oriented GUI RAID management utility on the HP Navigator
CD. HP NetRAID Assistant also runs under Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x and 4.0, and allows you
to control and monitor the status of hard disk drives, locally or over a network with several servers.
For instructions on configuring Physical Devices and Logical Devices, refer to the HP NetRAID
Series Installation and Configuration Guide
.

HP NetRAID Config

HP NetRAID Config is a character-based, non-GUI utility that configures and manages RAID
systems. HP NetRAID Config runs under the following operating systems listed in the above table.

HP NetRAID Express Tools

A third utility used to manage the HP NetRAID subsystem is HP NetRAID Express Tools, a text-
based configuration utility contained in the adapter firmware, and therefore is independent of any
operating system. HP NetRAID Express Tools contains some advanced management and diagnostic
utilities that are not available with HP NetRAID Assistant or HP NetRAID Config. For information
on using this utility, refer to the section HP NetRAID Express Tools.

Operating System Drivers and Utilities

your adapter with the most current versions of the network operating systems listed in the preceding
table.
