The common configuration tasks that will be described here are as follows:
1. Verify the configuration
2. Low-level format of the disks
3. Defining a hot-spare drive
4. Creating a disk array
5. Defining logical drives
6. Look at the drives information
7. Backup/restore the configuration
After booting with the RAID Controller program diskette, if more than one RAID
adapter is installed, it will prompt you to select which adapter you want to work
with (see Figure 54). Otherwise, a screen like the one in Figure 55 will appear.
