DOS Utilities
Running the ACU
To run the ACU for MS-DOS:
1
Browse to
Dos\Apps\Acu
on the Adaptec installation CD.
2
Copy
acu.exe
onto a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk and insert
this disk into your drive.
3
Restart your system.
If you issue the command
ACU
without any command-line switches,
the ACU displays its main window and waits for your menu
selection (interactive mode). If you include any command-line
switches with the
ACU
command, ACU processes your command
with no further interaction (command-line or script mode).
The remainder of this chapter explains in detail how to use the
ACU in both interactive and script modes.
Using Interactive Mode
When you issue the
ACU
command at the MS-DOS prompt without
any command-line switches, the ACU displays its main window
and waits for your menu selection. To select an ACU menu option,
use the
↑
and
↓
keys, and press
Enter
. In some cases, selecting an
option displays another menu. Press
Tab
to navigate between the
fields within a dialog box. You can return to the previous menu at
any time by pressing
Esc
.
Creating an Array with ACU
Before creating arrays, make sure the disks to be used as members
of the array are connected and installed.
Notes
■
Disks with MS-DOS partitions, disks with no usable space, or
disks that are uninitialized appear dimmed and cannot be used
for creating a new array.
■
If necessary, restart your system to ensure that it detects all
connected drives.
■
If you need to initialize a device, see
page B-16
.
To create an array, select the drive or drives to be used in the array
and then assign the desired properties to the array.
