Chapter 1

Configuring an Xserve RAID System

Note:

You can save the management password for a system (until you quit RAID

Admin) by checking “Remember management password” when you enter the

password. A small lock icon appears at the right side of the message area for the

system in RAID Admin’s main window. Any subsequent tasks requiring the

management password will authenticate using the saved password without prompting

you. For security, you can delete the saved password by choosing Forget Management

Password from RAID Admin’s System menu.

System Name and Contact Information

Use the System pane in the Settings window to enter or change the system name. (The

default name Xserve RAID is set at the factory.) You can also enter reference

information, including the physical location of the Xserve RAID system and the primary

contact for that system.

Choose an option from the Time Synchronization Method pop-up menu. You can

synchronize the system’s time with the host computer or a network time server (for

which you enter the name).

You can change the password for management or monitoring access using the

appropriate Change button. When setting up the system, you may want to change

both passwords. Be sure to write them down and make them available to anyone else

who is authorized to make changes (management) or monitor system status

(monitoring).

The option for audible alerts is turned on by default.

The option for SNMP access is turned on by default. This option allows SNMP

community “public” access.
