RAIDWatch®
gives system managers a new way to do their job by supporting
remote array management over a LAN or the Internet using
hybrid TCP/IP agents. A system administrator can manage
an EonStor RAID system remotely using any standard web browser
via the Internet, providing border-free and ?nstall once,
run anywhere?convenience.
Enclosure View
The RAIDWatch® Enclosure View is a specialized graphic
customization that shows a direct representation of an
Infortrend EonStor subsystem or an EonRAID controller
head in various enclosure view panels of the RAIDWatch®
screen. The image is an accurate illustration of the physical
device and can be customized to match the look of the
drive tray. When the mouse cursor is placed over any active
component or lit LED, a message appears showing the status
of the respective component. Failed components are easily
seen as they are usually marked with a red LED, indicating
a failed component.
Multi-Language Support
RAIDWatch® is a useful RAID management tool that is
used worldwide. It is currently available in English and
Japanese; support for other languages is under development.
The language display is easily changed using the language
selection on the program menu bar. As soon as a language
is selected, the GUI interface, wizards, and online help
display the chosen language.
Configuration Client
(Utility for Centralized Management)
RAIDWatch® supports a variety of event notification
options by setting up Configuration Client, a sub-module
of the RAIDWatch® software. With Configuration Client,
system managers can effectively monitor the system while
working on other tasks.
Events are classified into three severity
levels: notifications, warnings, and alerts. Many notification
methods are available: email, fax, ICQ, MSN Messenger,
SMS short message, LAN broadcast, and SNMP traps.
The Configuration Client program is associated
with the Root Agent module of the software and can be
launched automatically on boot-up, allowing easy association
with multiple arrays. The notification utility itself
can also be installed redundantly on two different computers
to guarantee users will be notified of events under any
circumstances.
Advanced Firmware Functionality
RAIDWatch® supports the latest firmware functionality
such as Intelligent Drive Handling, Auto Switch Cache
Policy and Auto Shutdown, Scheduled Tasks, Event Triggered
Operations, Media Scan and many other leading edge features.
