Feature Highlights
1.3.5 Password Protection
The GUI RAID Manager comes with password protection to
prevent unauthorized users from maliciously modifying the
configuration of the disk array system. This security feature is
put into effect the first time an attempt is made to modify the
disk array configuration after turning on the GUI RAID Manager
station or after the station comes back from a period of
inactivity.
With the password security feature, you have the luxury of
leaving your GUI RAID Manager station unattended knowing
that the currently managed disk array system is safe from any
unauthorized modifications.
1.3.6 Demo Mode
The GUI RAID Manager provides a Demo program for use as a
learning tool and for demonstration purposes. This tool allows
you to experiment on various disk array configurations and
monitor how the system responds and operates under such
conditions without connecting to a real disk array.
This
Demo
program
supports
all
management
functions
available in the GUI RAID Manager, making your imaginary
system as real as possible. You can select the controller for your
imaginary system, the number of hosts (for SCSI-to-SCSI
controller only) and drive channels, the number of physical
drives, configure your logical drives and volumes, partition
logical volumes, and map partitions to hosts.
You can even
force drives to fail and observe the system’s reaction.
