Understanding HP NetRAID Network Utilities

The software that lets you manage integrated HP NetRAID controllers (and HP
NetRAID Series adapters) over a network is built on remote procedure calls
(RPC) using TCP/IP protocol. The HP NetRAID network utilities include the
following:
HP NetRAID Assistant is the GUI utility that provides a user interface to
the adapters in the servers on the network. This utility can run on either
clients or servers on the network.
HP NetRAID Access Service is installed on all servers with integrated
HP NetRAID controllers (or HP NetRAID Series adapters) that will be
managed over the network. This utility makes the server and its integrated
HP NetRAID controller accessible to a client or another server running
HP NetRAID Assistant.
HP NetRAID Registration Server is installed on one server or client,
and it maintains the list of servers that can be accessed over the network.
When the servers start, they check in with the Registration Server, which
keeps track of the servers available for access by HP NetRAID Assistant.
When HP NetRAID Assistant is started, it obtains the list of available
servers from the Registration Server. Each network requires one
Registration Server in order to support the HP NetRAID network utilities.
