Chapter 5 Configuration • Toolbar: The toolbar icons are separated into four categories of functions: Configuration, Properties, Miscellaneous, and Other. They provide shortcuts to access the menu options. Figure 5-2. HP NetRAID Assistant Main Menu Toolbar Options • Adapter box: The Adapter box shows the number of the current adapter that is being configured. If you installed one or more HP NetRAID-3Si adapters in your HP NetServer, you can switch between the integrated HP NetRAID controller and other HP NetRAID-3Si adapters by using the Adapter box pull-down list. The integrated HP NetRAID controller is always Adapter 0. • Physical Devices box: The Physical Devices box contains one or two channel columns, which show the physical drives on the SCSI channels of the integrated HP NetRAID controller (or the currently selected adapter). The number in parentheses to the right of each physical drive icon is its SCSI ID (Target) on the channel. The state of each physical drive appears to the right of the SCSI ID or array designation. The possible states of a physical drive are as follows: ◊ Online: The physical drive is online, functioning normally, and part of a configured logical drive. ◊ Ready: The physical drive is functioning normally, but is not part of a configured logical drive, nor configured as a hot spare. ◊ Spare: The physical drive is configured as a hot spare, and is powered up and ready for use as a spare in case an online drive fails. ◊ Failed: The physical drive failed and is out of service. 43

shortcuts to access the menu options.
Figure 5-2. HP NetRAID Assistant Main Menu Toolbar Options
Adapter box
: The Adapter box shows the number of the current adapter
that is being configured. If you installed one or more HP NetRAID-3Si
adapters in your HP NetServer, you can switch between the integrated HP
NetRAID controller and other HP NetRAID-3Si adapters by using the
Adapter box pull-down list. The integrated HP NetRAID controller is
always Adapter 0.
Physical Devices box
: The Physical Devices box contains one or two
channel columns, which show the physical drives on the SCSI channels of
the integrated HP NetRAID controller (or the currently selected adapter).
The number in parentheses to the right of each physical drive icon is its
SCSI ID (Target) on the channel.
The state of each physical drive appears to the right of the SCSI ID or
array designation. The possible states of a physical drive are as follows:
Online:
The physical drive is online, functioning normally, and part
of a configured logical drive.
Ready:
The physical drive is functioning normally, but is not part of a
configured logical drive, nor configured as a hot spare.
Spare:
The physical drive is configured as a hot spare, and is powered
up and ready for use as a spare in case an online drive fails.
Failed:
