FAQ

What web server does the ServerView RAID Manager use?
No "classical" web server such as Apache runs. amService uses a
reduced HTTP as transport protocol to permit web browsers to work with
the ServerView RAID Manager.

How can the ServerView RAID Manager port be changed?

The 6th line of the <installation directory>\bin\amDPatch.ini file contains
the entry "Port = 3173". You can change the port here. You cannot force a
binding. If the port shouldn't be accessible externally, you must block it with
the firewall.

How can the default logging settings be changed?

The settings can be found in the <installation directory>\bin\amMPX.ini file.
There you can define the logging method, file size, file name, number of
files, etc.
