CR3500 Configuration Utility
This chapter provides instructions for using the Compaq CR3500
Configuration Utility and describes methods to configure your
CR3500 controller quickly and easily. The CR3500 Configuration Utility is
located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD.
The utility uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to help you configure the
CR3500 controller. You can use the utility to configure a controller initially or
to reconfigure a controller.
The CR3500 Configuration Utility can create arrays (a group of physical
drives that are similar in size) called logical drives. Logical drives are created
using the CR3500 Configuration Utility’s Add Logical Drive wizard. You can
create:
Single-device arrays (JBODs)
Striped arrays (RAID 0)
Mirrored arrays (RAID 1)
Striped mirrored arrays (RAID 0+1)
Striped parity arrays with fixed parity disk (RAID 4)
Striped parity arrays with floating parity disk (RAID 5)
