DuraStor 6220SS/7220SS Installation and User's Guide Changing Your Drive Configuration You may need to change your storage subsystem from one drive configuration to another or add another RAID controller to expand your storage subsystem capabilities and capacity. The DuraStor 6200S RAID controller features drive roaming. Drive roaming allows RAID controllers to keep track of which disk drive belongs to which logical array if the enclosure is changed or the disk drive is moved. To change to a new drive configuration, follow the setup instructions for that configuration as provided in Connecting the SCSI RAID Appliance to the DuraStor 312R on page 3-12. Note: You will not be required to move disk drives around in the enclosure. Drive roaming will locate those disk drives when the DuraStor Storage Subsystem is powered on. Changing Your Operating Mode To change to a new operating mode, follow the setup instructions for that mode as provided in Connecting the SCSI RAID Appliance to the Host System on page 3-17. Setting the Host System HBA to Multiple-LUN Support Before your host system will recognize the arrays you create, you must set the host system HBA to multiple-LUN support status. 1 Open your host system HBA BIOS. (Refer to your HBA documentation for instructions on how to do this.) 2 Set Multiple LUN Support for controller ID (default 1) to Yes. 3 Close your host system HBA BIOS. (Refer to your HBA documentation for instructions on how to do this.) 3-22
