Chapter 2: Installing Adaptec Storage Manager ● 23
Using Adaptec Storage Manager with a Firewall
If your system or network includes a firewall, you must unblock these ports:
● 8003 (TCP)
● 34580 (TCP)
● 34570 to 34579 (TCP)
● 34570 (UDP)
● 34577 to 34580 (UDP)
If you have installed the GUI and Agent on a system running Windows XP, you must also
unblock the javaw process in the Windows firewall. Refer to your operating system
documentation for instructions.
Running Adaptec Storage Manager from the CD
This section describes how to run Adaptec Storage Manager from the Adaptec RAID
installation CD included in the kit, instead of as an installed application. When you run
Adaptec Storage Manager from the CD, you are using bootable-CD mode.
When to Choose Bootable-CD Mode
Use Adaptec Storage Manager in bootable-CD mode if you want to install your operating
system on a disk drive or logical drive associated with your controller. Bootable-CD mode lets
you configure the controller before you install your operating system.
After you have configured the controller and installed the operating system, install and run
Adaptec Storage Manager as an installed software application, as described earlier in this
chapter.
Bootable-CD Mode Limitations
Running Adaptec Storage Manager from the CD is not an alternative to running it as an
installed software application. Most of the features and functions described in this user’s guide
are not available when you are running Adaptec Storage Manager from the CD. Bootable-CD
mode is only for configuring your controller before you install an operating system.
Getting Started in Bootable-CD Mode
This is a checklist of tasks to complete when you’re building your storage space with Adaptec
Storage Manager in bootable-CD mode.
D Install your Adaptec RAID controller.
D Run Adaptec Storage Manager (see the following section).
D Create logical drives (see page 34).
For an introduction to the Adaptec Storage Manager window and its features, see page 43.
D Install your operating system (and controller device drivers, if appropriate).
