Logging in to a Server

When you start a client or server installation of MegaRAID Storage Manager software, the Select Server window appears. The Select Server window shows an icon for each server on which MegaRAID Storage Manager software is installed. If the circle in the server icon is yellow instead of green it means that the server is running in a degraded state, probably because a disk drive in a virtual disk has failed. If the circle is red, the server storage configuration has failed.

To log in to a server, follow these steps:

  1. Double-click the icon of the server that you want to access. The Server Login window appears.
  2. Select an access mode from the drop-down menu.
    • Select Full Access if you need to both view the current server configuration and change the configuration.
    • Select View Only if you only need to view the storage configuration.
  3. Enter your user name and password and click Login.
  4. If your user name and password are correct for the login mode you have chosen, the main MegaRAID Storage Manager window appears.

    To access servers on a different subnet, type in the box at the bottom of the Server Select screen the IP address of a server in the desired subnet and click Update. If you check the Connect to remote framework box, you can also access a standalone server running MegaRAID Storage Manager software, if it has a network connection.
