Troubleshooting: Problems and Solutions Q4: Some of the drives do not appear in the Disk Array Configuration Utility's main display. Your drives are not connected properly to the ATA RAID controller. Check that both the power and ATA cables are connected properly and that the drives are all properly jumpered. To operate properly the ATA RAID controller requires that drives be set as Single (if available on your drive) or Master. Q5: I am using a Dell Dimension system that locks-up when booting after a 3ware card is installed. What is going on? This symptom is caused by a Dell BIOS bug. Basically, this bug sees the system boot drive as two primary master drives. That causes the system to hang. Enter the Dell BIOS setup and reload the BIOS defaults. Software installation Q6: The ATA RAID controller was configured without problems, but the system does not boot. The problem could be one or more of the following: ■ The operating system is installed on a device that is not in your system's boot order. Use your system's Setup utility to include the StorSwitch controller in the boot order. ■ If your operating system was installed before you configured your disk arrays, you may have overwritten your operating system. Remember that creating or deleting a disk array overwrites any existing data on the member drives. Reinstall your operating system. ■ If you installed your operating system when you installed the ATA RAID controller, you may have made a mistake in installing the operating system. Reinstall your operating system. Q7: An array shows up as incomplete in the Disk Array Configuration Utility's main display similar to the following: Array Unit 1 - Incomplete 6.5 GB Port 1 - FUJITSU MPC3065AH 6.5 GB The array has some but not all of its members available. The array will be unusable. If this array is your boot device, your machine will not boot. You must either find the missing disk and replace it to complete the array, or release the member disks by deleting the incomplete array(s) listed in the display. Remember that deleting a disk array overwrites any existing data on the member drives. Q8: The use of Red Hat's Disk Druid partitioning utility with Red Hat 6.2 or 7.0 is limited to 112 GB. Use fdisk if more storage capacity is required. 98 3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide

3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide
Q4:
Some of the drives do not appear in the Disk Array Configu-
ration Utility’s main display.
Your drives are not connected properly to the ATA RAID controller.
Check that both the power and ATA cables are connected properly and
that the drives are all properly jumpered. To operate properly the ATA
RAID controller requires that drives be set as
Single
(if available on
your drive) or
Master
.
Q5:
I am using a Dell Dimension system that locks-up when
booting after a 3ware card is installed. What is going on?
This symptom is caused by a Dell BIOS bug. Basically, this bug sees the
system boot drive as two primary master drives. That causes the system
to hang. Enter the Dell BIOS setup and reload the BIOS defaults.
Software installation
Q6:
The ATA RAID controller was configured without problems,
but the system does not boot.
The problem could be one or more of the following:
■
The operating system is installed on a device that is not in your sys-
tem’s boot order. Use your system’s Setup utility to include the Stor-
Switch controller in the boot order.
■
If your operating system was installed before you configured your
disk arrays, you may have overwritten your operating system.
Remember that creating or deleting a disk array overwrites any exist-
ing data on the member drives. Reinstall your operating system.
■
If you installed your operating system when you installed the ATA
RAID controller, you may have made a mistake in installing the oper-
ating system. Reinstall your operating system.
Q7: An array shows up as incomplete in the Disk Array Configu-
ration Utility’s main display similar to the following:
Array Unit 1 - Incomplete
6.5 GB
Port 1 - FUJITSU MPC3065AH
6.5 GB
The array has some but not all of its members available. The array will
be unusable. If this array is your boot device, your machine will not
boot. You must either find the missing disk and replace it to complete
the array, or release the member disks by deleting the incomplete
array(s) listed in the display. Remember that deleting a disk array over-
writes any existing data on the member drives.
Q8:
The use of Red Hat’s Disk Druid partitioning utility with Red
Hat 6.2 or 7.0 is limited to 112 GB.
Use fdisk if more storage capacity is required.
