About This Guide
This guide provides information on preparing, installing, configuring, and using the
Total Performance Manager (TPM) application for the TP9100 external RAID subsystem.
Note: At the time of production, an issue with the 7.70 controller firmware resulted in
version 7.75 controller firmware code being released. All screen shots that were done
with 7.70 controller firmware are still valid for 7.75 controller firmware.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators. Use this guide to:
• Gain a basic understanding of the TPM software.
• Learn how to install, configure, and run the TPM software in Linux, IRIX, and
Windows environments.
• Learn about hardware and software requirements.
• Learn how to use the GUI to operate the TPM software.
Structure of this Guide
This guide contains the following chapters:
• Chapter 1, “Introduction” — Introduces the TPM software and provides
information about features and packaging.
• Chapter 2, “Installing, Configuring, and Running TPM on IRIX, Linux, and
Windows” — Describes the host prerequisites and how to install and configure the
TPM software.
• Chapter 3, “Using TPM” — Describes how to use the various GUI menus to
configure and control the RAID subsystem.
• Appendix A, “TPMWatch Event Monitor and Logger” — Describes how to
configure and operate TPMWatch, a support program designed to poll RAID
subsystems and report their health to an output file.
• Appendix B, “Error Codes” — Describes the error codes associated with the TPM
software.

Chapter 1
1. Introduction
Product Overview
The Total Performance Manager (TPM) application is an HTML-based GUI RAID
client-server application manager. It provides a user-friendly graphical user interface
(GUI) for configuring and monitoring external RAID disk subsystems that use several
families of RAID controller engines. TPM consists of two programs that run natively on
an IRIX, Windows, or Linux system that is physically attached to a RAID storage
subsystem. All communication is through the Fibre Channel (FC) controller, so that no
RS-232 interface is required. The application incorporates an embedded Web server to
provide the user interface to a user-supplied Web browser.
Note: TPM supports only external RAID controllers. It does not support internal RAID
controllers, such as the Mylex AcceleRAID cards used in some SGI computing platforms.
Once the TPM service routine is running on a host server, it may be interfaced to any
modern Web browser that supports HTML level 3 or higher. This includes Microsoft’s
Internet Explorer 4.x and above, and Netscape Navigator 3.x and above. The browser
client does not have to be located on the computer running the TPM service routine. The
browser also does not have to be running locally. If TPM is running on a computer with
Internet access, the browser can communicate with TPM through a dial-up connection
(provided there is no firewall blockage).
To communicate with the TPM service, enter the URL on which the TPM is listening. By
default, TPM starts on port 2002. Therefore, if your host server is configured for IP
address 192.168.1.99, set your web browser to the following URL:
http://192.168.1.99:2002

1: Introduction
Features
TPM is designed to support the TP9100 external RAID subsystem. The TPM application
provides the following functions:
• Configuration: Adds, deletes, and modifies LUNs, topologies, and device status.
• Administration: Configures controllers, administers LUNs, and takes controllers
online and offline.
• Reporting: Presents statistical data and subsystem status.
• Maintenance Procedures, such as RAID controller and drive firmware downloads.
Software Packaging
The software is packaged differently for IRIX/Linux than for Windows. The following
sections describe both.
IRIX/Linux Software Packaging
For IRIX and Linux, the TPM software is distributed on a CD-ROM that contains the files
shown in Table 1-1. The files must be located in the $DAM_HOME directory tree. By
convention, $DAM_HOME is set to /opt/dam, and this manual uses $DAM_HOME and
/opt/dam interchangeably.
