18Chapter 3 – Setup and AdministrationThe TerraBlock system has software management tools pre-installed on the server.The following covers these tools that are installed prior to shipping.The most commonly used is the TerraBlock Manager. It allows for user and volumemanagement. The default user that launches the TerraBlock Manager on the serverwill have the ability to add, change and remove volumes; add, change and removeusers and assign permissions to users. A TerraBlock user given Admin permissionscan also perform these functions from any client workstation.System SetupAfter the server is installed and powered on, no additional configuration is required.The disk set was created prior to shipping and is presented to the TerraBlockManager application. You can begin allocating the storage into virtual volumes.When the TerraBlock is shipped from the factory, there are no volumes and nousers; these will need to be created. Administrator access is given when theTerraBlock Manager is launched on the TerraBlock Server itself, and volume/usercreation can occur here. Alternately, the first user to launch the TerraBlock Managerfrom a client connected to a new TerraBlock Server is given Administrative access,and all administrative functions can be accessed from that client.There are several applications that can be launched on the TerraBlock Server itself:Management: Facilis TerraBlock Manager SMDriveMonitor SMManager Web-based Switch ManagementTroubleshooting/Servicing: Drive Checker Data Verifier ATTO Configuration Tool Facilis TerraBlock ManagerLooking at the TerraBlock Server’s desktop, you’ll find the main tool for bothclient and administrator control of the system.
