The Array Configuration Utility gives you the ability to do on-line capacity
expansion which allows you to change an existing data storage
configuration even in a fault tolerant configuration without requiring a data
tape backup and restore cycle. If using hot-pluggable drives, storage
expansion can be performed online, without shutting down the server.
The Array Configuration Utility provides the following configuration
benefits:
Illustrates the controller configuration in an easy-to-understand
graphical format
Provides descriptions of various configuration errors
Contains configuration wizards that walk you through the
configuration process
Suggests optimal configuration and fault tolerance for controllers that
are not configured
SCSI Controller Support
The ProLiant 5000 has an Integrated 32-Bit Fast-Wide SCSI-2/P Controller
and requires the
CPQ32FS2.SYS
device driver from the Compaq Software
Support Diskette (SSD) for Windows NT v1.18 or later in order to obtain
full feature support.
The Microsoft Windows NT installation process automatically installs the
NCR PCI (53c810) SCSI
driver which only provides basic functionality for
the Compaq ProLiant 5000 Integrated 32-Bit Fast-Wide SCSI-2/P
Controller.
The
CPQ32FS2.SYS
device driver features:
Enhanced performance
Insight Management Agents for Windows NT support
Support for the ProLiant Storage System
