Storage Array Management



As incredulous as this may sound, I have installed a StorEdge A-1000 Disk
Array (SUN) on a Windows 2003 Server. The unit was part of an E250 that we
have taken out of service. The unit is functioning to the point that Windows
has recognized the LUNs previously created by RAID Manager under Solaris and
I can partiion, format and utilize the 'pre-defined' LUNs. However, I would
like to be able to Manage the LUNs (create, delete, re-organize, add). I have
documentation (805-6890-10 SUN PDF) that points to a version of RAID Manager
for Windows (6.22.1) but can find it no where on the SUN Website (only the
SPARC version). Does somebody out there know where I can get this RAID
Manager or know of another RAID Management software that would work? I have
the Resource Tool Kit with Windows 2003 Server but there are apparently no
Virtual Disk Services available for the A-1000 which utilizes a Symbios (LSI)
RAID Controller. For additional information, I have attached the A-1000 to
the PC through an Adaptech EZ-SCSI Differential Controller. The controller
BIOS can also only format the previously established LUNs. I would be very
aprreciative for some help or advice in this area.
