Advanced Configuration

There are a variety of ways you can configure your Storage Central SC101. For information about using the Wizard Setup Configuration Options, see "Using the Wizard Setup Mode" on page 5-2. This chapter describes how to use Advanced Configuration to set up your SC101.

Status: Use the Check Central Storage Status button to check the status of the SC101.

Create/Manage drives: Create new drives or manage existing drives that you already created. See "Creating or Managing Drives" on page 6-4.

Change hard disk name: Change the name of the hard disk.

View/attach available drive: View available drives, and attach a drive if one is available. See "View/Attach Available Drive" on page 6-5.

Change admin password: Change the password for the admin login. The admin login and password are required to access sensitive areas of the SC101 Configuration Utility.

Firmware Upgrade: Upgrade the firmware for the Storage Central SC101. See "Firmware Upgrade" on page 6-5.

Manage Broken Mirror: If you created a mirrored drive, and one of the hard disks installed in the SC101 fails or is removed, then a broken mirror message is displayed. For more information, see the help in the SC101 Configuration Utility.

Manage Broken Drive: If there is a problem while a drive is being created, such as losing the network connection, then the drive can be broken. If this happens, use this feature to delete the broken drive.

If a PC is creating a shared drive, then it will appear to be broken to other PCs until the creation process is complete.
