Follow the notes described below to use the disk array controller safely.

1-1 Installation of MSM

Install the MegaRAID Storage Manager

(called MSM hereafter) management utility to manage the disk

array controller in the OS. MSM allows you to perform the following operations:

 Events and errors that occur on the array system can be registered in the event log and used for

troubleshooting and diagnosis.

 MSM event information can be monitored by using NEC ESMPRO.

 Manual rebuild and Consistency Check can be executed.

For the installation of MSM, refer to the "MegaRAID Storage Manager User's Guide" on the NEC

EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM that comes with the server.

1-2 Preventive Maintenance by Consistency Check

A routine Consistency Check is recommended as preventive maintenance against defects of HDD‟s. This

feature allows defects of HDD‟s to be found and repaired as soon as possible.

For the detailed features of Consistency Check, see "Chapter 3 Features of Disk Array Controller."

The recommended check interval is once per week. Depending on the operation status of your system, the

check interval should be at least once per month.

Check
