What’s the difference between...?
Adaptec Storage Manager and the agent?
Adaptec Storage Manager is the full software application, including the
user interface (windows, menus) described in this Guide. It helps you
build and maintain the logical drives, controllers, and disk drives that
make up your storage space.
The agent is like a service that keeps your storage space running. Its job
is to monitor system health and manage event notifications, tasks
schedules, and other on-going processes on each system in your storage
space. The agent can run independently of the full application.
See page 17 for more information.
Event notifications, email notifications, and event
alerts?
Event notifications (also called logged notifications) are messages about
events on one system that are sent to the Event Viewer of another
system in your storage space. (See
page 103 .)
Email notifications are email messages about events on a system in your
storage space that are sent to specified users. (See
page 111 .)
Event alerts are pop-up messages or console messages about all types of
events on a specific system, which are broadcast to all the users who are
logged into your storage space. (See
page 120 .)
