INSTALLING THE STORAGE MANAGEMENT CONSOLE
Aer installing an operating system onto a RAID volume or on a SATA hard drive when
in RAID mode, the Rapid Storage Technology User Interface can be loaded from within
Windows. This installs the user interface (the Storage Management Console), the tray
icon service, and the monitor service onto the system, enabling the health of the RAID
volumes and hard drives to be monitored locally. The Storage Manager also enables the
creation and deletion of RAID volumes, as well as other configuration and management
features that the pre-boot Configuration Utility does not support.
Microso.NET 3.5 is a prerequisite to the installation of the management console.
Microso Windows Server 2008 R2 already includes the installation of .NET 3.5, but it
must be enabled (prior versions of Windows Server OS require that it be downloaded and
installed). The following steps show an example of how to enable it in Microso Windows
Server 2008 R2.
1. Choose Server Manager and click “Add Features.” The “Select Features” dialog
will be displayed.
2. Check “.NET Framework 3.5 Features” from the list.
3. Press “Add Required Role Services” from the dialog box that is displayed.
