System Description
The ASUS’ GUI RAID Manager is a Windows-based program
specifically designed for use in managing disk array systems
implemented using any of ASUS’ line of PCI-to-SCSI or SCSI-
to-SCSI controllers (GUI stands for graphic user interface.) The
GUI RAID Manager provides a user-friendly interface that
facilitates understanding of the relationship between disk array
elements and simplifies the normally complicated process of
array configuration. The GUI RAID Manager also provides real-
time reporting on the status of the entire array, thus making the
task of monitoring disk arrays virtually effortless.
The GUI RAID Manager complements the on-board console
interface found on the ASUS’ SCSI-to-SCSI controllers and a
line of host-based, text-based RAID Managers providing the
same functionality, but with greater ease of use. The following
sections describe the outstanding features of the GUI RAID
Manager.
