Online Storage Controller
Recovery Option
To implement OSCRO, you must perform some or all of the following planning
and installation steps:
1.
Plan the hardware configuration, taking related issues into account.
2.
Install new controllers, if necessary. Minimally, you should label the cables
you will use for OSCRO and connect them based on the OSCRO
configuration you have selected.
3.
Upgrade the SMART-2 controller firmware and device drivers.
4.
Load the OSCRO software.
5.
Use the Compaq Online Storage Controller Recovery Utility to merge
controllers in OSCRO controller pairs.
Hardware Planning
The first step toward OSCRO implementation is hardware planning. You must
have at least one Compaq ProLiant or ProSignia server, at least two
SMART-2 Array Controllers of the same type, and at least one Compaq
ProLiant Storage System/F or /U.
Controllers for OSCRO Implementation
There are two types of SMART-2 Array Controllers that can be made into
OSCRO redundant controller pairs. They are:
■
Single channel (SMART-2SL)
■
Dual channel (SMART-2/P, SMART-2/E, SMART-2DH)
