Using the Adaptec HostRAID configuration programs
Important: RAID options and HostRAID are not supported on the SCO 6.0 and
UnixWare 7.14 operating systems.
Use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SAS/SATA Configuration
Utility (also referred to as IBM ServeRAID-7e) to add RAID level-0 and level-1
functionality to the integrated Serial ATA controller (simple-swap SATA models) and
the SAS/SATA controller (hot-swap models). Be sure to use these programs as
described in this document. Use these programs to perform the following tasks:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array
v View or change the RAID configuration and associated devices
When
you are using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and
SAS/SATA Configuration Utility program to configure and manage arrays, consider
the following information:
v The SAS/SATA controller with integrated RAID (hot-swap models) and the
integrated Serial ATA controller (simple-swap SATA models) with integrated SATA
RAID support RAID level-0 and level-1 with the option of having a hot-spare
drive. An optional ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels.
v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the
integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated RAID and the SAS/SATA controller
with integrated RAID.
v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can
have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have
the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
v To help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data
rates.
v To update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you
must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID
option.
v If you install a different type of RAID controller in the server, use the method that
is described in the instructions that come with the controller to view or change
settings for attached devices.
Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA
RAID)
Use the Array Configuration Utility, in the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
programs, to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA
(SATA) controller. This utility is a part of the BIOS code. For additional information
about using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs, see the
Chapter 4. Configuring the server 41
