This section provides information about using Dell OpenManage™ Array Manager to manage your disks, volumes, and physical
hard drives.
Using the Array Manager to Manage Your Disks and Volumes
Although Dell OpenManage Array Manager provides a comprehensive solution to storage management, you should use it for
advanced features that cannot be performed from the Disks tab in the NAS Manager.
Array Manager allows you to configure your storage devices and logical volumes contained in your system. Array Manager
displays storage configuration in both a physical and a logical view. The physical view shows the physical connections
between the storage devices. The logical view shows a logical representation of your storage as logical volumes.
Array Manager provides a single console for array and volume configuration, from which you can do the following:
Manage the hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) solution
Manage external storage subsystems
Display all of your storage information in a graphical environment
Launching Array Manager From the NAS Manager
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Maintenance.
3. Click Terminal Services.
4. Log in to the Terminal Services session as an administrator.
NOTE: The NAS Manager default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is
powervault.
5. From the Advanced Administration Menu, click Disk Management under System Management.
NOTE: If the Advanced Administration Menu does not display, double-click the Advanced Administration
Menu icon on the desktop of the NAS system.
