Starting MegaRAID Storage Manager Software

Follow these steps to start MegaRAID Storage Manager software and view the

main window:

1. Start the program using the method required for your operating system

environment:
– To start MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a Microsoft Windows

system, select Start > Programs > MegaRAID Storage Manager >

StartupUI, or double-click the MegaRAID Storage Manager shortcut on

the desktop.

If a warning appears stating that Windows Firewall has blocked some features

of the program, click Unblock to allow MegaRAID Storage Manager software to

start. (The Windows Firewall sometimes blocks the operation of programs that

use Java.)

– To start MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a Red Hat Linux

system, select Applications > System Tools > MegaRAID Storage

Manager StartupUI.

– To start MegaRAID Storage Manager software on a SUSE SLES 9

system, select Start > System > More Programs > MegaRAID Storage

Manager.

2. When the program starts, the Select Server window appears, as shown in the

following figure.

If the circle in the server icon is yellow instead of green, it means that the

server is running in a degraded state—for example, because a disk drive

used in a virtual disk has failed. If the circle is red, the storage configuration

in the server has failed.
