ICP RAID Console Note: The XROM version of ICPCON may report an error incorrectly after configuring more than 30 host drives. This false error is indicated by one of the following messages: • 'No more handles' • 'Memory allocation failed' After the system boots into the operating system, however, ICPCON shows that all of the host drives exist. This limitation does not occur when configuring more than 30 host drives with the OS version of ICPCON. 10.5.5.1 Create New Host Drive From the Advanced Setup menu, select Configure Host Drives and press Enter to display a list of existing host drives, if any, in the Select Host Drive screen (Figure 10-95). For an unconfigured system, no host drive entries are displayed. Figure 10-95. Select Host Drive Screen In the Select Host Drive screen, you can press to view the level-by-level detailed information on a host drive and its components which may assist in getting an overview of a specific host drive. Press to switch the hard disk LEDs of the selected host drive on and off. Press to refresh the window. You can create new host drives from the Select Host Drive screen by selecting the Create new Host Drive menu option (Figure 10-95) and pressing Enter. Before creating a new host drive, the ICP RAID controller scans all channels for free hard disks (for example, hard disks which are not yet part of a host drive) and displays these free disks in the Select Physical Drive screen (see Figure 10-96). Use the arrow up and down keys to move the selection bar from one hard disk to another, and use the space bar to select/deselect hard disks. Marked hard disks show an '*' in the first column. After selecting the hard disks, press Enter, and the Choose Type window becomes active (see Figure 10-96). The Choose Type window displays all host drive types and enables the appropriate types depending on the number of selected hard disks and the firmware level of the ICP RAID controller. Select the appropriate RAID level type and press Enter to confirm your selection. 142 Software Installation and User's Guide
