Chapter 4 HP NetRAID Express Tools NOTE For internal mass storage in HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r, LH 6000/6000r, and LT 6000r, SCSI ID 5 is reserved for the SAF-TE processor that manages the hot-swap mass storage cage. For an external mass storage enclosure with a SAF-TE processor, a SCSI ID is reserved for that processor. The number of the reserved SCSI ID varies with the type of external enclosure. The SAF-TE processor is displayed as PROC. Configure Menu For information on configuring, refer to "Configuring Arrays and Logical Drives" in this chapter. Initialize Option You must initialize your logical drives before they can be used. This option initializes the logical drives by writing zeros to the data fields and generating corresponding parity fields on drives with RAID levels 3, 5, 30, or 50. Choosing Initialize from the Tools Management menu opens the Logical Drives Configured box, which states the properties for the logical drives configured. The hot key options available at the bottom of the window are: SPACE-(De)Select, F2-(De)Select All Drives, F10-Initialize Select the logical drive(s) you want to initialize with the Spacebar or F2 button, then press F10 to initialize the logical drives. You are asked to confirm that you want to initialize the logical drives. Choosing Yes begins initialization. The Initialize Logical Drives in Progress box opens to report on the progress of the initialization process. If you want to cancel the initialization process once you have started it, press the Esc key. You are asked to confirm that you want to abort initialization. CAUTION When you initialize logical drives by using the Initialize menu selection, all data on the physical drives is erased. 78
