 SMManager
The SMManager tool is a command-line interface for the administration and
management of TerraBlock volumes and users. It is suggested that SMManager
only be used at the recommendation of, and with assistance from, Facilis
Technical Support.
 The SMManager is launched from “Program Files\Facilis\TerraBlock\Utilities”
or the red desktop shortcut. The name of the program is SMManager.exe
 QLOGIC Switch Management
When a Fibre Channel switch is included with a TerraBlock order, managing the
QLOGIC switch may be necessary. This can be performed from the TerraBlock
Server. One of the Server’s Ethernet ports can be configured to connect to the
switch. The QLOGIC switch management software allows the administrator to
zone and monitor the performance of the switch.
Web-based Switch Manager software using a default browser is used to establish
connection to the Switch. The IP address of the Server’s network interface card
(NIC) should be verified and may need to be changed to connect. The NIC of the
server should be set to a subnet matching the Switch (10.0.0.x). The Switch has
a default IP address of 10.0.0.1.
 After connecting using the web based Switch manager, you may need to ‘Add
Fabric’ and type the IP address (default is 10.0.0.1), user name and password
(default is “admin”/”password”).
 Facilis DriveChecker
DriveChecker is a performance diagnostic tool for SATA and SAS based chassis’
to exercise drives in the server. When a certain drive or controller is suspected to
be underperforming, this utility can determine if the drive is in need of
replacement. See “Appendix A: Additional Setup Tools” for more information.
 A resulting log file will be generated by DriveChecker in the same directory
where the utility is run. The log file should be sent to support@facilis.com for
analysis when requested.
 ATTO Configuration Tool
TerraBlock servers configured with Fibre Channel interface cards to connect to
client stations or a Fibre Channel switch will have the ATTO Configuration Tool
pre-installed. ATTO Celerity 42XS, 42ES, 82EN or 162E model cards can be
viewed and configured using this tool. The ATTO Configuration Tool will allow a
system administrator to set the Connection Mode, update firmware, and check
ATTO driver versions. See the Facilis TerraBlock 6.5 Release Notes for more
information. This tool should be installed on all client stations with fibre channel
hardware.
 NOTE: Version 3.38 (or higher) of the ATTO Configuration Tool is required in
order to configure an ATTO 8Gbit Fibre Channel interface card. Config Tool
version 4.08 (or higher) is required for 16Gbit cards. Both are provided with
this release.
