Configuring Arrays and Spares Note: Event notifications may appear as pop-ups and/or as entries in the Historic Event Log and the System Monitor window, depending on user options selected. Refer to Figure 3-5 on page 3-12 for more information. 18 When initialization is complete, exit from Adaptec CI/O Management Software and reboot the system. After you reboot, you must partition the new array just as you would partition a new stand-alone disk drive. Note: You cannot use the new array until you reboot. Making an Array the First Virtual Device Follow the steps below if you want the system to boot your operating system from an array instead of from a stand-alone disk. (To use a stand-alone SCSI disk as your boot device, we recommend that you assign SCSI ID 0 to this device and that you connect it to Channel A of the array controller.) You make an array bootable by assigning it virtual device order #0. The virtual device order is the sequence in which the system's operating system detects the arrays, single disks, and other devices connected to the array controller when the system boots. You may also need to move the array controller to a different PCI slot. See your array controller's Hardware and Installation Guide for more information. ! Caution: When you make an array bootable, the drive letters assigned to other drives and arrays on the system may change, which can cause data access problems on your system. Follow these steps to create a bootable array: 1 Click to open the Storage Configuration window. 5-9
