Chapter 1: Introduction

• WebPAM Components (page 2)
• About This Manual (page 3)
The Web-Based Promise Array Management (WebPAM) software offers local and remote management and monitoring of all ATI SB600 SATA logical drives that exist anywhere on a network.
Figure 1. WebPAM in a browser window
Its browser-based GUI provides email notification of all major events/alarms, memory cache management, drive event logging, logical drive maintenance, rebuild, and access to all components in the RAID configuration (server, controller, logical drives, and physical drives).
WebPAM is designed to work with ATI SB600 SATA RAID controllers. Other brands of RAID controllers are not supported.

Java Runtime Environment

The WebPAM installation program installs a private JRE in folder _jvm under the same directory where WebPAM is installed. WebPAM uses this private JRE to avoid incompatibility issues with any other JREs that may be present on your system.

Operating System Support

On the Host PC with the ATI SB600 Controller, where you install WebPAM, ATI recommends 32-bit or 64-bit versions of:
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows 2003
• Red Hat Enterprise 4.0
• SuSE ES 9.0
These operating systems support WebPAM. Choose one of them to take full advantage of WebPAM’s features and functions.

Browser Support

On the Host PC with the ATI SB600 Controller, where you install WebPAM, you must have one of the following browsers:
• Internet Explorer 6.0
• Mozilla Suite 1.7
• Mozilla Firefox 1.0
• Netscape Navigator 7.1
If you do not have one of the above browsers, install the browser first and make it the default browser. Then install WebPAM.
You must use one of the browsers listed above on your networked PC in order to access WebPAM over the network.

External SSL Security – Applies security to all connections involving the Internet or outside your company firewall.
Security options are invisible to authorized users. ATI provides a default certificate for the server as well as for internal data
communication. However, in some cases it is always better to install and verify your own certificate for the webserver. And, if possible, verify certificate by certificate authority like Verisign or Thwate. See your MIS Administrator for guidance.
Click the Next button when you have made your choice.

Chapter 3: Setup

• Log-in to WebPAM (page 15)
• Access a Host PC (page 18)
• Recommended Initial Settings (page 18)
• Create a New Logical Drive (page 21)
• Log-out of WebPAM (page 25)

Log-in to WebPAM

Double-click on the WebPAM icon on your Windows desktop (right). Or,
1. Launch your Browser.
2. In the Browser address field, type the entry explained below. If you did not choose the External Security option during WebPAM
installation (see page 11), use the Regular connection. If you chose the External Security option during WebPAM installation (see
page 11), use the Secure connection.

Regular Connection

• WebPAM uses an HTTP connection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .http://
• Enter the Host PC’s IP address . . . . . . . . . . . .127.0.0.1 or localhost
• Enter the Port number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :8080
• Add to launch WebPAM. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./ati
Together, your entry looks like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/ati or http://localhost:8080/ati

Secure Connection

• WebPAM uses a secure HTTP connection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .https://

Note
In order to display some of the supported languages, you might have to install additional fonts or other files to your operating system.

Access a Host PC

WebPAM includes a navigation tree or Tree View in the left frame of the browser window. Click on the + icons to expand the tree. A Host PC’s RAID system is made up of:
Administrative Tools – User and Host Management and Utility
Configuration
Host – Controller, Physical Drives, Logical Drives, and Spare Drives
If you do not see these details in the Tree View and you are connecting over a network, it means your network connection to the Host PC is not working. Restore your connection before proceeding.
If you do not see WebPAM at all, lower your browser’s security settings.
A detailed discussion of WebPAM graphic user interface is found in Chapter 4 on page 27.

11. RAID 0 and RAID 10. Select a Stripe Block Size from the dropdown menu. Choose from 64 or 128 KB. The size selected affects how the controller
sends and receives data blocks to and from the drives. In general, a larger block size is better when handling large data transfers (such as A/V editing and graphics) while a smaller size is better when handling email and other common server data. The default is 64KB. When in doubt, use the default value.
The Write Cache policy is None. You cannot change this setting.
12. RAID 0 and RAID 1. Select a Gigabyte Boundary policy from the dropdown menu.
• GigaByte Boundary – Rounds the size of the logical drive down to the
nearest whole gigabyte. It allows you to install a slightly smaller (within 1 GB) replacement drive, should the need arise. This is the default.
• None – No Boundary function.
13. Select an Initialization policy from the dropdown menu.
• Fast Initialization – Erases the reserve and master boot sectors of the
physical drives being added to the logical drive.
• Full Initialization – Erases all sectors of the physical drives being
added to the logical drive.
• None – No initialization. This choice is not recommended.
14. Click the Finish button. If there are physical drives available, the Select RAID Level screen appears
again, where you can create an additional logical drive.
