Configuring the Server Configuring the Drive Array Controller If you are using a simple SCSI controller to boot from the internal drives, disregard this section and proceed to the "Installing the Operating System" section later in this chapter. If you are using a Smart Array 5i Controller or an array controller installed into a PCI/PCI-X slot to boot from the internal drives, the first time the system is powered up, you must create the logical drive (or drives) in the RAID array. The Smart Array 5i Controller built into the ProLiant DL760 G2 server can use any of the following utilities to create logical drives based on the RAID configuration that you specify: • Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) • Array Configuration Utility (ACU) • Array Configuration Replicator Utility (ACR) The ProLiant DL760 G2 server has an embedded Smart Array 5i Controller. This controller is a dual channel Ultra3 SCSI array controller embedded on the I/O board. Both channels support Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI devices. The controller provides the following features: • 32 MB of total memory, 12 MB of read-ahead cache • Support for up to four internal Ultra3 SCSI hot-plug drives in RAID 0, 1, 1+0, and 5 configurations • External connector support for external tape drives to back up the internal drives • Migration between RAID levels • Migration between stripe sizes • Prefailure notification and Pre-Failure Warranty (through Insight Manager 7) • Online spares Port 1 is connected to an external very high density connector interface (VHDCI) SCSI connector. Port 2 is dedicated to controlling the SCSI drives in the internal drive bay. HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide 8-15
