IBM 8837 User Guide - Page 49

In

addition,

an

LSI

command-line

configuration

program

(CFG1030)

and

the

utility

that

performs

a

low-level

format

on

a

SCSI

hard

disk

drive

are

available

from

http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Consider

the

following

information

when

using

the

LSI

Logic

setup

utility

program

and

ServeRAID

Manager

to

configure

and

manage

arrays:

v

The

integrated

SCSI

controller

with

RAID

capabilities

in

the

server

supports

only

RAID

level

1

and

1E;

using

a

hard

disk

drive

as

a

hot-spare

is

optional.

Installing

an

optional

ServeRAID

controller

provides

additional

RAID

levels.

Notes:

1.

RAID

level

1

with

two

drives

provides

data

mirroring,

which

provides

a

redundant

copy

of

the

data.

2.

RAID

level

1

with

three

to

four

drives

allows

data

mirroring

with

a

hot-spare

drive.

v

When

you

create

a

RAID

level-1

(mirrored)

pair,

all

drives

must

be

on

the

same

channel.

v

Hard

disk

drive

capacities

affect

how

you

create

arrays.

The

drives

in

an

array

can

have

different

capacities,

but

the

RAID

controller

treats

them

as

if

they

all

have

the

capacity

of

the

smallest

hard

disk

drive.

v

To

help

ensure

signal

quality,

do

not

use

drives

with

different

speeds

and

data

rates

in

the

array.

v

You

can

set

up

a

mirror

after

the

operating

system

is

installed

on

the

primary

drive

only

if

you

are

using

an

integrated

SCSI

controller

with

RAID

capabilities.

If

you

want

to

use

the

RAID

capabilities,

make

sure

that

the

primary

drive

has

the

lower

SCSI

ID

(for

example,

0).

Important:

If

you

use

an

integrated

SCSI

controller

with

RAID

capabilities

to

configure

a

RAID

level-1

(mirrored)

array

after

you

have

installed

the

operating

system,

you

will

lose

access

to

any

data

or

applications

that

were

previously

stored

on

the

secondary

drive

of

the

mirrored

pair.

v

To

update

the

firmware

and

BIOS

codes

for

an

optional

ServeRAID

controller,

you

must

use

the

IBM

ServeRAID

Support

CD

that

comes

with

the

controller.

v

If

you

install

a

different

type

of

RAID

controller,

see

the

documentation

that

comes

with

the

controller

for

information

about

viewing

and

changing

SCSI

settings

for

attached

devices.

Using

the

LSI

Logic

setup

utility

program

Complete

the

following

steps

to

start

the

LSI

Logic

setup

utility

program:

1.

Turn

on

the

server

and

watch

the

monitor

screen.

2.

When

the

message

<<<

Press

<CTRL><C>

to

start

LSI

Logic

setup

utility

>>>

appears,

press

Ctrl+C.

If

an

administrator

password

has

been

set,

you

are

prompted

to

type

the

password.

3.

Use

the

arrow

keys

to

select

a

controller

(channel)

from

the

list

of

adapters;

then,

press

Enter.

4.

Follow

the

instructions

on

the

screen

to

change

the

settings

of

the

selected

items;

then,

press

Enter.

If

you

select

Device

Properties

or

Mirroring

Properties

,

additional

screens

are

displayed.

See

the

User’s

Guide

on

the

IBM

xSeries

Documentation

CD

for

about

the

LSI

Logic

setup

utility

program.
