Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program Complete the following steps to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program: 1. Turn on the server and watch the monitor screen. 2. When the message > 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. Using ServeRAID Manager To perform some tasks, you can run ServeRAID Manager as an installed program. However, to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and perform an initial RAID configuration on your server, you must run ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode, as described in the instructions in this section. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the configuration method described in the instructions that come with that adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID technology and instructions for using ServeRAID Manager to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities. Additional information about ServeRAID Manager is also available from the Help menu. For information about a specific object in the ServeRAID Manager tree, select the object and click Actions → Hints and tips. Configuring the controller By running ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode, you can configure the controller before you install your operating system. The information in this section assumes that you are running ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode. To run ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode, turn on the server; then, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. If ServeRAID Manager detects an unconfigured controller and ready drives, the Configuration wizard starts, and a window similar to that shown in the following illustration opens. Chapter 4.
