security, and throughput for the server. These modes apply to the integrated Ethernet controllers and to the controllers on supported Ethernet adapters. Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to perform the following tasks: v Perform a low-level format of a SCSI hard disk drive v Set a SCSI device scan order v View or change SCSI IDs for attached devices v Create a mirrored pair of SCSI hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive v Set SCSI protocol parameters on SCSI hard disk drives The integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities supports redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. You can use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure RAID level 1 for a single pair of attached devices. If you install a different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that comes with the adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices. The following sections provide instructions for starting the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and performing selected functions. Starting the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program To start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the prompt > appears, press Ctrl+C. If you have set an administrator password, you are prompted to type the password. 3. To select a controller (channel) from the list of adapters, use the arrow keys and press Enter. 4. To change the settings of the selected items, follow the instructions on the screen. If you select Device Properties or Mirroring Properties, additional screens are displayed. When you have finished changing settings, press Esc to exit from the program; select Save to save the settings that you have changed. Formatting a SCSI hard disk drive Low-level formatting removes all data from the hard disk. If there is data on the disk that you want to save, back up the hard disk before performing this procedure. Note: Before you format a SCSI hard disk, make sure that the disk is not part of a mirrored pair. From the list of adapters, select the controller (channel) for the drive that you want to format. Select Mirroring Properties and make sure that the mirroring value for the drive is None. To format a drive, complete the following steps: 1. From the list of adapters, select the controller (channel) for the drive that you want to format. 2. Select Device Properties. 3. To highlight the drive that you want to format, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys. To scroll left and right, use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys or the End key. Chapter 2. Configuration 13
