Promise Technology FastTrak TX4000/S150 TX2plus/S150 TX4 PAM User Manual
Promise Array Management (PAM) is a utility application designed for monitoring and managing Promise Technology RAID products, specifically the FastTrak TX4000, FastTrak S150 TX2plus, and FastTrak S150 TX4. The software allows IT managers to monitor RAID conditions and perform management tasks from any computer on a local area network or over the Internet.
The PAM system consists of three components: the Monitoring Utility, the Message Server, and the Message Agent. The Message Agent runs on the RAID PC to monitor the hardware and send status messages, while the Message Server acts as a link to distribute these messages to the Monitoring Utility on other networked PCs. This setup enables remote monitoring and email alert notifications for various RAID events.
