Configuring an Xserve RAID System

Configuring Additional Systems

If you plan to configure multiple Xserve RAID systems, you must enter the information
and choose settings for each system individually.

If the other systems you want to set up are on the same subnet, you can add each one
to the monitoring list and then add name and contact information, change passwords,
and enter IP addresses for each system. Each time you begin a management task, you
have to enter the management password for that system, unless you have previously
saved it in RAID Admin Preferences.

If you need to configure a system for the first time that is not on the same subnet with
your monitoring computer, you must find out its IP address or use RAID Admin on
another computer on the subnet with that system. Once you know the IP address of
the systems you want to monitor, you can connect to them from any location with TCP/
IP access.

Once you’ve configured the system with basic settings, you can begin using the RAID
Level 5 arrays preconfigured at the factory, or you can create other RAID arrays and
begin storing data on the system.
