Step 9: After the disk has been replaced, it will start with an offline status. Select the option marked "Make Online" to bring the physical disk online and finish rebuilding the RAID array. At any point during RAID configuration or management, the home button will return to the main screen of the configuration utility, and the exit button will cancel any unsaved changes and exit the application. Additional RAID Information OS Installation The above steps document the process for setting up a hardware RAID array using the tools provided by the hardware RAID adapter. After this setup process is complete, an operating system can be installed. If the user does not wish to have the RAID array be bootable, a separate SATA or SAS boot disk can be used, and the RAID array can be a separate disk group for data storage only. During operating system installation, the configured RAID array will be recognized as a logical disk group, and can be set up and partitioned as desired. Other Workstation Platforms The above information applies only to the desktop workstation platforms discussed herein. Hardware RAID support is not available on the HP xw4550, since only SAS RAID is supported on HP Linux workstations. The xw4550 only supports SATA drives, and SATA RAID support is not available. The HP xw460c blade workstation supports hardware RAID levels 0 or 1 using the SAS drives that are available for use on that platform. ENWW Additional RAID Information 13
