Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5.1
RAID Admin is the Xserve RAID’s powerful remote management software that dramatically simplifies setup and monitoring of storage volumes. This Java-based application provides an intuitive interface for creating protected storage volumes, logging events, managing preferences, and monitoring storage hardware from virtually any networked computer over TCP/IP. Monitoring panes display detailed information on arrays, drives, LUNs, Fibre Channel, network, IP network, thermal, power, and events. You can add new systems to RAID Admin via IP or Apple’s innovative Bonjour technology. Learn more about Xserve RAID. What’s New in this Version The Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5.1 Update addresses overall reliability of the RAID Admin software and Xserve RAID firmware. This update is recommended for all Xserve RAID users. - Support for 750GB Xserve RAID drive modules. - Changes to ‘Host Cache Flushing’ performance setting are properly saved on RAID controller. - Fixed SCSI protocol compatibility issues with Windows OS. - Corrected encoding issue so passwords may now contain any valid Unicode character. - Fixed updating the current session password after password is changed in system settings. - ’IDE Error’ event log message details are now correctly displayed in hexadecimal. - Removed LUN Masking from Advanced panel. - Closed an unused TCP/IP port (192) on the Controller Module.

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL288?locale=en_USXserve RAID Driver 1.0
The Xserve RAID Driver Update should be installed by all Final Cut Pro users using an Xserve RAID. The update reduces I/O WRITE latency by overriding behavior to periodically force the Xserve RAID to write its buffer cache to the hard drives. Lower I/O WRITE latency improves performance during video capture and is required to avoid dropping frames regardless of the video resolution used. Since the frequency of Xserve RAID cache flushing to the hard drives is reduced, it is strongly recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used with the Xserve RAID to guard against the possibility of data loss in the event of a power failure. Requirements: Xserve RAID Driver Update 1.0 works on all Macintosh computers running Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or later with a Xserve RAID. if your Xserve Raid is at firmware 1.5, this driver is disabled and you do not need this update.
