How to manager LSI controller with MegaRaid Manager

[webguyz]

That doesn't work. Using windows version 2.88 of megaraid manager.

Does Areca have a web based manager like 3ware does within Open-E. I don't like the idea of not having raid management tools on the same box as the open-e.

Thanks!

The password for raid controllers is independent of that used for the open-e interface and must be set up seperately. The password for Areca raid cards (username:admin) is "0000" or four zeros. Four or five zeros is a common password for raid cards or LCDs on raid arrays. The areca controller web gui (usually on port 6666) can be accessed through the open-e web gui through "Setup -> H/W RAID", just like the 3ware ones. Areca cards also often have their own ethernet port for administration, but I usually don't use that, except for telnet access to the areca interface.

Thanks for the info. I have some 9690se cards and like them, but the ability to have 4 gig of cache on the Areca sounds like a good idea for a SAN. Will order one and test it out.

May I ask if you are running DSS in 32-bit or 64 bit mode?
And if 64-bit mode, what version of DSS?
