Chapter 4 Installing the Operating System
Configuring the RAID Arrays (Selected Installations)
If you install a non-English version of Windows, you cannot use the Server Updates wizard to install
updates. We recommend that you download the updates from the Microsoft website and manually
install them, or download and install them by using Windows Automatic Update. (For more
information on Windows Automatic Update, refer to the “Support Policy for Windows Automatic
Update” section in Supported Hardware and Software, and Support Policies for Cisco
Unity Release
5.x For a list of the updates currently recommended for use with Cisco
Unity, refer to Software
Installed by the Cisco
Unity Server Updates Wizard. Both documents are available at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.)
Configuring the RAID Arrays (Selected Installations)
If you are installing Windows using the Cisco Unity Platform Configuration discs, or if the system is not
using RAID, skip this section.
Do this section only if the system is using hardware-based RAID. (Software-based RAID is not
supported.)
To configure the arrays, you group the physical disks into logical disks and assign a RAID type to each
logical disk. The server manufacturer provides a disc that contains utilities for several setup tasks,
including configuring RAID arrays. Use the disc to configure the arrays when the Cisco
Unity server
was not purchased from Cisco.
The following discs are provided by server manufacturers:
The following procedure contains only general steps. For detailed instructions on using a specific
array-configuration utility, refer to the manufacturer documentation.
To Configure the RAID Arrays by Using the Manufacturer-Provided Utility
Step 1 Start the Cisco Unity server, and insert the manufacturer disc in the DVD drive.
Step 2 On the main menu, select the array-configuration utility.
Step 3 For each logical disk needed, group physical disks of the same make and model, and assign a RAID type.
For information on the recommended RAID configuration for the server, refer to the Cisco Unity
Supported Platforms List at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_data_sheets_list.html.
Step 4 Follow the manufacturer instructions to complete the configuration.
