Managing the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H on Windows NT DiscoveringDisk Arrays Missing Disk Arrays? If you know there are disk arrays connected to your network but they are not displayed in the Discovered Arrays, check the following: • Make sure the host the disk array is connected to is operational and logged on to the network. • Make sure the disk array is turned on and operating properly. • Make sure the disk array is properly connected to the host. This includes proper termination of the SCSI bus. • Make sure there is at least one logical drive created on the disk array. A logical drive must be created on the disk array before the array can be accessed by the host. During the boot process, the host 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 host may be unable to access with the array. A logical drive can be created using the disk array control panel as described in the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H User's and Service Manual. DiscoveringDisk Arrays If the disk array configuration on your network changes, the AutoRAID Manager may be unaware of it. For example, if a disk array is added to or removed from a server, the change may not be reflected in the Array List. In this case, it will be necessary to search the network to update the information displayed by the AutoRAID Manager. To discover disk arrays 1. From the HP AutoRAID Manager's View menu, click Select Hosts.... 2. Click Discover.... 3. Click Automatic Discovery. 4. The AutoRAID Manager will search the local network for disk arrays and update the Known Hosts list with the new information. 5. Check the Known Hosts list and add any new disk arrays to the Selected Hosts list, if the view is not configured for All Known Hosts. Managing Disk Arrays on a Remote Host The discovery feature described in the preceding procedure locates disk arrays connected to hosts on the local server (Local Hosts view) as well as remote hosts (All Known Hosts view). If a specific host is not displayed, or you do not wish to run automatic discovery, you can do the following: 219 Windows NT

Windows NT
Missing Disk Arrays?
If you know there are disk arrays connected to your network but they are not
displayed in the Discovered Arrays, check the following:
•
Make sure the host the disk array is connected to is operational and logged on to the network.
•
Make sure the disk array is turned on and operating properly.
•
Make sure the disk array is properly connected to the host. This includes proper termination of the
SCSI bus.
•
Make sure there is at least one logical drive created on the disk array. A logical drive must be created
on the disk array before the array can be accessed by the host. During the boot process, the host 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 host may be unable to access with the array. A logical
drive can be created using the disk array control panel as described in the
HP SureStore E Disk Array
12H User’s and Service Manual.
DiscoveringDisk Arrays
If the disk array configuration on your network changes, the AutoRAID Manager may be unaware of it. For
example, if a disk array is added to or removed from a server, the change may not be reflected in the Array
List. In this case, it will be necessary to search the network to update the information displayed by the
AutoRAID Manager.
To discover disk arrays
1.
From the HP AutoRAID Manager’s View menu, click
Select Hosts...
.
2.
Click
Discover…
.
3.
Click
Automatic Discovery
.
4.
The AutoRAID Manager will search the local network for disk arrays and update the Known Hosts list
with the new information.
5.
Check the Known Hosts list and add any new disk arrays to the Selected Hosts list, if the view is not
configured for All Known Hosts.
Managing Disk Arrays on a Remote Host
The discovery feature described in the preceding procedure locates disk arrays connected to hosts on the
local server (Local Hosts view) as well as remote hosts (All Known Hosts view). If a specific host is not
displayed, or you do not wish to run automatic discovery, you can do the following:
