Structure of Universal RAID Utility
The Universal RAID Utility consists of the following modules. The module that can be used is
different depending on operating system.
raidsrv service
The raidsrv service always operates in the server to manage RAID Systems. Receiving a
processing request from the RAID Viewer or raidcmd, the raidsrv service provides proper
information on a RAID System or performs an appropriate operation for the RAID System. In
addition, the raidsrv service manages events occurred in RAID Systems, notifies the RAID
Viewer of the events and/or registers them to several logs.
RAID Viewer (Windows Edition only)
The RAID Viewer is the Windows application managing and monitoring the RAID System by
GUI. The RAID Viewer displays the configuration and status of a RAID System graphically or
provides configuration and operation for a RAID System.
Log Viewer (Windows Edition only)
The Log Viewer is the Windows application viewing the event of RAID System. The Log Viewer
allows you to see the RAID Log in which events occurred in RAID Systems are registered.
raidcmd
The raidcmd is the application managing and monitoring the RAID System by CLI.
The raidcmd is the command that indicates the configuration and status of a RAID System
or operates on a console providing configurations and operations.
NEC ESMPRO Manager Communication Module / raidsrv Agent
When the RAID System is managed in NEC ESMPRO Manager, raidsrv Agent controls the
communication between NEC ESMPRO Manager and Universal RAID Utility.
