Chapter 3 Monitoring Status and Changing Settings 29

Removing a System From the Monitoring List

You can take a system off the monitoring list when you’ve finished adjusting or

monitoring it.

Note: If you remove a system, you must supply its IP address and monitoring password

when you add it again.

To remove a system from the monitoring list, select it in the list and click Remove

System.

Changing RAID Admin Preferences

You can change status buttons to shapes in the main RAID Admin window and change

the time display to a 24-hour clock using the application’s preferences.

To use shapes or buttons to indicate system status:

1 Choose RAID Admin Preferences.

2 Check or uncheck “Use shapes to indicate status” to use shapes in addition to color for

status indicators, then click OK.

Use the “shapes to indicate status” option if you have difficulty distinguishing between

the different colored status indicators. When shapes are turned on, you see a green

circle for OK, a yellow triangle for warning, and a red square for failure status.

To adjust time settings for the event log:

1 Choose RAID Admin Preferences.

2 Click either “12-hour clock” or “24-hour clock” and click OK.

Changing System Settings

You can adjust most settings for the Xserve RAID system while the system is operating.

In a few instances, the Xserve RAID system must restart for a change to take effect,

temporarily disrupting data availability.
