Using the ServeRAID Manager agent
Starting the ServeRAID Manager agent
The ServeRAID Manager agent is a monitoring agent for ServeRAID controllers
that uses less memory than the ServeRAID Manager graphical user interface (that
is, the console). You can manage and configure a server running the agent through
a ServeRAID Manager console running on another system.
Note: If the system administrator chose during installation to start the agent as a
background service (daemon), the agent is already running. Verify that the
agent is not running before performing this procedure.
Use the following procedure to start the ServeRAID Manager agent on your
system.
