Managing the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H on Windows NT Installing AutoRAID Manager Software Disk Array SCSI Settings The following disk array SCSI settings must be checked and set to the indicated value if necessary. • WDTR set to enabled • SDTR set to enabled Use the disk array control panel is to view and change SCSI settings. Refer to the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H User's and Service Manual for control panel information. Logical Drive Configuration NOTE! At least one logical drive must be created on the disk array before the array can be accessed by the host server. During the boot process, the server must recognize a logical drive on the disk array to ensure the HBA device driver is loaded properly. If there is no logical drive on the disk array, the server may hang during the boot process. Logical drive 0 must be created on the disk array to ensure that the host recognizes the array. Your strategy for creating logical drive 0 will be influenced by the type of installation - NT cluster or standalone. • NT cluster - In NT cluster installations logical drive 0 must be reserved for exclusive use by the AutoRAID Manager and should not be used for data files. This unused logical drive is essential for maintaining proper operation should one of the cluster servers fail. Because logical drive 0 is used only for management purposes, you should make it as small as possible. • Standalone (noncluster) - In standalone installations logical drive 0 can be used as any other logical drive on the disk array. Its size will depend on your overall logical drive strategy for the disk array. Use the disk array control panel to create a logical drive. Refer to the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H User's and Service Manual for control panel information.
