Chapter 8. Configuring Units To move a secondary storage unit from a 9500S to a 9550SX controller 1 Power down the computer. 2 Remove the 9500S controller. 3 Install the 9550SX controller in the computer. 4 Attach the drives that were on the 9500S to the 9550SX. 5 Boot to the operating system. 6 Install the 9550SX driver. If you are using Linux, you may also need to update the initial RAM disk with the mkinitrd command. 7 Reboot if you are prompted to do so by the operating system. Some operating systems (for example, Windows 2003) will allow the unit(s) attached to the controller to be used at this point without an additional reboot. Adding a Drive through 3DM Note: If you have a 9550SX controller, when you add a drive to your system and connect it to the controller, it is automatically detected and listed in 3DM and the CLI. If you have a 9500S or 7/8000 controller, follow the steps below to make a new drive available. If you have a hot-swap carrier, you can add a drive to your system and make it available through 3DM without powering down the system. Without hot swap carriers, you should not add a drive via 3DM. Instead, power down the system and add the applicable drives. Warning: Physically adding a drive without a hotswap carrier and without powering down your system can result in a system hang or may even damage the system and the drive. To add a drive through 3DM when you have hot-swap carriers 1 Connect the drive physically to the controller. 2 In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance. 3 On the Maintenance Page, click Rescan Controller. 160 3ware 9550SX Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
