ICP RAID Console
A drive of a given level of hierarchy is composed of the drive(s) of the next lower level.
The OS recognizes only host drives, with the lower drive levels completely transparent to
it. For more information about drive levels, see
Section 1.3.6,
Levels of Drive Hierarchy
Within the ICP RAID Firmware
.
Table 10-7
lists the host drive types that ICPCON can configure.
ICPCON can run in one of two methods:
By pressing <Ctrl>+<G> at system boot time
By launching the application from within an OS
After launching ICPCON, navigate within the application in the following ways:
Use the up arrow and down arrow keys, or type a (highlighted) character when
applicable, to select an item.
Press the <Enter> key to accept a selection
Press the <Esc> key to return to a previous menu or exit ICPCON
After launching the OS version of ICPCON, the screen in
Figure 10-36
appears.
After launching the XROM version of ICPCON, the Select Controller screen
