See Chapter 2 for an overview of the Administrator utility and

Chapters 3 through 8 for detailed instructions.

Note:

Depending on the task, the Administrator utility may

call other utilities, such as the Format utility. This happens

in the background, so you do not need to understand the

other utilities. If you are curious about these utilities, how-

ever, see Appendix B, Glossary of Array Software.

The Adaptec CI/O Software

Adaptec CI/O is a separate software package that lets you monitor

SCSI subsystems, including Adaptec arrays, from a remote worksta-

tion. Adaptec CI/O also lets you remotely access the Administrator

utility, making all Administrator utility functions available at the

remote workstation. For an overview of Adaptec CI/O capabilities,

see Chapter 8, Working from a Remote Workstation. That chapter also

explains how to set up the Adaptec array software for use with

Adaptec CI/O.

AHA-3980 and AHA-3985 RAID adapter kits include Adaptec CI/O

(the single server version). If you purchased the RAID adapter sepa-

rately, you can obtain Adaptec CI/O by calling the sales order line at

the number listed on page ii.

System Requirements

The Adaptec array software must be installed on a NetWare server

that has the following hardware and software:
