Chapter 9 Configuring a Second Integrated HP NetRAID Channel 3. Plan the configuration of your second channel as described in Chapter 4 of this guide. Be sure to note that all non-hot-swap devices on SCSI B will become part of your HP NetRAID channel. For performance reasons, non-hot-swap devices and hot-swap disk drives should not be combined in the same array. 4. Verify that your hardware is set up correctly for your second channel. The second channel may use hot-swap disk drive modules in a second hotswap mass storage cage or in an external mass storage enclosure. Make sure that the SCSI IDs of the non-hot-swap devices do not conflict with the SCSI IDs of the hot-swap disk drive modules connected to SCSI B. 5. Enable HP NetRAID on SCSI B using the Setup (F2) utility. See "Step D. Enable Integrated HP NetRAID Controller" in this guide for complete instructions. ◊ Integrated HP NetRAID should be set to Enable. ◊ Included SCSI_A Channel should be set to Yes. ◊ Included SCSI_B Channel should be set to Yes. 6. Boot the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. You will see the following message during power up: New drives found. Configuration updated. 7. Launch HP NetRAID Assistant, following the instructions in "Step E" in Chapter 5. 8. From the HP NetRAID Assistant main window, verify that your existing hard disk drive information is correct. The drives with your existing data are still on Channel 0 and their status should be "Online." The new drives are now on Channel 1 and their status should be "Ready." 9. Select the Configuration menu, and then choose Wizard. CAUTION Do not clear your configuration! You don't need to change the configuration of your existing HP NetRAID channel. 10. Choose either Custom or Automatic mode and define arrays, hot spares, and logical drives on your second channel. Automatic mode will not affect your existing configuration. For complete instructions on configuring arrays and logical drives, see "Step F" in Chapter 5 of this guide. 93

Chapter 9
Configuring a Second Integrated HP NetRAID Channel
93
3.
Plan the configuration of your second channel as described in Chapter 4 of
this guide.
Be sure to note that all non-hot-swap devices on SCSI B will become part
of your HP NetRAID channel
. For performance reasons, non-hot-swap
devices and hot-swap disk drives should not be combined in the same
array.
4.
Verify that your hardware is set up correctly for your second channel. The
second channel may use hot-swap disk drive modules in a second hot-
swap mass storage cage or in an external mass storage enclosure. Make
sure that the SCSI IDs of the non-hot-swap devices do not conflict with
the SCSI IDs of the hot-swap disk drive modules connected to SCSI B.
5.
Enable HP NetRAID on SCSI B using the Setup (F2) utility. See "Step D.
Enable Integrated HP NetRAID Controller" in this guide for complete
instructions.
◊
Integrated HP NetRAID
should be set to
Enable
.
◊
Included SCSI_A Channel
should be set to
Yes
.
◊
Included SCSI_B Channel
should be set to
Yes
.
6.
Boot the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM
. You will see the following
message during power up:
New drives found. Configuration updated.
7.
Launch HP NetRAID Assistant, following the instructions in "Step E" in
Chapter 5.
8.
From the HP NetRAID Assistant main window, verify that your existing
hard disk drive information is correct. The drives with your existing data
are still on Channel 0 and their status should be "Online." The new drives
are now on Channel 1 and their status should be "Ready."
9.
Select the
Configuration
menu, and then choose
Wizard
.
CAUTION
Do not clear your configuration! You don't need to change
the configuration of your existing HP NetRAID channel.
10.
Choose either
Custom
or
Automatic
mode and define arrays, hot spares,
and logical drives on your second channel. Automatic mode will
not
affect
your existing configuration. For complete instructions on configuring
arrays and logical drives, see "Step F" in Chapter 5 of this guide.
