Configuring
a ServeRAID controller: the basic steps: The following steps are an
overview of the ServeRAID configuration process:
1. In the Enterprise view, click
(controller) that you want to configure.
2. Right-click Create logical drive, or click
in the Logical devices view. The
Configuration wizard opens.
3. Click either Express configuration or Custom configuration: If you select
Express configuration, the ServeRAID Manager automatically:
a. Creates one or more arrays, based on the number and size of ready physical
drives in your system.
b. Defines a hot-spare drive, if four or more ready physical drives of the same
size are available.
c. Defines a logical drive for each array.
If
you select Custom configuration, the ServeRAID Manager walks you
through:
a. Selecting the physical drives that you want to include in your arrays or
create as hot-spare drives.
b. Defining the logical drives for your arrays.
4.
Click Automatically initialize new logical drives. Initializing a logical drive
erases the first 1024 sectors on the drive and prevents access to any data
previously stored on the drive.
5. Click Next; then, review the configuration summary.
6. Click Apply. The ServeRAID Manager will configure the controller and
initialize and synchronize the logical drives.
For HostRAID controllers, Express configuration creates a
single logical drive. Custom configuration allows you to select the physical drives
and segments used to define your logical drives.
