Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion In most installations, the operating system is installed on a SCSI drive connected outside of the HP NetRAID system. However, NetWare 5.x can reside on a disk array in the HP NetRAID system to achieve redundancy. Preparation Steps for NetWare 5.x This section makes the following assumptions: • You have already configured your HP NetRAID system as discussed in Chapter 5. You should have created only one logical drive per array. • You have initialized your logical drives. NOTE It is important to initialize your logical drives. If the drives have been previously configured under an operating system, there can sometimes be residual partition/format information that subsequently causes misrepresentation of logical drives under NetWare 5.x. • You already installed NetWare 5.x as discussed in Chapter 6, "HP NetRAID Software." The only other requirement to prepare for online capacity expansion of your logical drive is that virtual sizing is disabled. This is the factory default setting. • If Virtual Sizing is Disabled (the factory default setting), no other preparation is necessary. • If Virtual Sizing is Enabled, disable virtual sizing in HP NetRAID Express Tools, as described below. To Disable Virtual Sizing NOTE • Clearing a previous configuration does not reset the virtual sizing setting for a logical drive. • Using the Reset to Factory Defaults option in Express Tools disables virtual sizing for all logical drives. • To enable virtual sizing for a logical drive, manually change the setting. 88

Chapter 7
Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion
88
In most installations, the operating system is installed on a SCSI drive connected
outside of the HP NetRAID system. However, NetWare 5.x can reside on a disk
array in the HP NetRAID system to achieve redundancy.
Preparation Steps
for NetWare 5.x
This section makes the following assumptions:
•
You have already configured your HP NetRAID system as discussed in
Chapter 5. You should have created only one logical drive per array.
•
You have initialized your logical drives.
NOTE
It is important to initialize your logical drives. If the drives
have been previously configured under an operating system,
there can sometimes be residual partition/format information
that subsequently causes misrepresentation of logical drives
under NetWare 5.x.
•
You already installed NetWare 5.x as discussed in Chapter 6,
"HP NetRAID Software."
The only other requirement to prepare for online capacity expansion of your
logical drive is that virtual sizing is disabled. This is the factory default setting.
•
If Virtual Sizing is Disabled
(the factory default setting), no other
preparation is necessary.
•
If Virtual Sizing is Enabled
, disable virtual sizing in HP NetRAID
Express Tools, as described below.
To Disable Virtual Sizing
NOTE
•
Clearing a previous configuration does not reset the virtual
sizing setting for a logical drive.
•
Using the Reset to Factory Defaults option in Express Tools
disables virtual sizing for all logical drives.
•
To enable virtual sizing for a logical drive, manually change
the setting.
