Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide
RAID Level and Stripe Size Migration
Use the Online RAID Level or Stripe Size Migration screen to:
■
Reconfigure a currently configured logical drive to a new fault-tolerance
(RAID) level
■
Change an existing logical drive’s stripe size to a new stripe size
Both can be done online on Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 5.0 without causing
any data loss. They can also be performed offline on other operating systems
by booting the SmartStart CD and running the ACU.
Errors and Warnings
When you start the Array Configuration Utility, the software checks each
controller to detect errors in its configuration. If a problem is found, the Array
Configuration Utility displays an error or warning message that describes the
problem. Error and warning messages include instructions to correct
configurations. If a warning message indicates “Internal Error Has Occurred”
and cites an error code number, the problem requires assistance from Compaq
technical support. See “About This Guide” at the beginning of this book for
technical support phone numbers.

you can install and run the configuration utility online.

prompts you to insert the second Array Configuration Utility diskette to install
the utility. A program icon is created automatically. Select the icon to run the
Array Configuration Utility. The Windows NT online Array Configuration
Utility requires that at least one logical drive was previously configured while
offline.
