3.

Array Configuration Utility for Microsoft Windows and Windows NT.

Using the Array Configuration Utility
Diskettes
To use the Array Configuration Utility diskettes:
1.
Insert the Array Configuration Utility diskette number 1 into the disk
drive.
2.
Restart the server.
Configuration Wizards
When you start the Array Configuration Utility, the software checks the
configuration of each SMART-2DH Array Controller board and its drive
arrays. If the arrays are unconfigured
or
if the configuration is less than
optimal, the configuration wizard takes over to guide you through the
configuration process. The configuration wizard recognizes the following
conditions:
Unconfigured controller
- When the Array Configuration Utility
detects an unconfigured controller, the configuration wizard takes you
through the controller configuration process.
Unused physical drives
- When the Array Configuration Utility detects
unused physical drives, the configuration wizard provides an easy way to
add them to an array. The “capacity expansion” capability of the SMART-
2DH Array Controller allows the Array Configuration Utility to add the
new physical drives to an existing array without destroying the data on the
existing logical drives.
Unused space on an array
- If the Array Configuration Utility detects
unused capacity in an array, the configuration wizard takes you through the
process of configuring the space into one or more logical drives.
