v Change the SCSI transfer speed
Scanning
for new or removed ready drives:
Note: This action is not supported on the integrated RAID controller.
Use this action to scan all SCSI channels or ports for either of the following:
v Physical drives that have been added.
v Ready physical drives that have been removed.
After physically removing a ready drive from a server or enclosure, the ServeRAID
Manager still reports the drive as ready. The firmware (microcode) does not
communicate with ready drives, therefore the firmware does not report the drive
as removed. Use this action to remove the ready drive from the configuration.
1. In the Enterprise view, click
(controller) or
(enclosure).
2. Right-click Rescan.
3.
For ServeRAID SCSI controllers, the Scan for new or removed ready
drives on controller window opens. The ServeRAID Manager scans all SCSI
channels on the selected controller. Review the scan report; then, click Done. To
stop the scan before it completes click Cancel.
4.
For the ServeRAID-8i, ServeRAID-8k/8k-l, ServeRAID-7t,
and HostRAID controllers, the ServeRAID Manager scans all ports on the
selected controller. It reports the results of the scan in theevent viewer.
Changing
the SCSI-transfer speed:
Note:
1. This action is supported in bootable-CD mode only.
2. This action is not supported on the integrated RAID controller.
3. This action is not supported on the ServeRAID SAS controllers
(8i/8k/8k-l) and the ServeRAID-7t controller.
Use
this action to change the SCSI-transfer speed.
1. In the Physical devices view, click the SCSI channel identifier:
2. Right-click Change the SCSI transfer speed and then a transfer speed. The
following choices are available:
v Optimal
his value is available if your controller supports it; otherwise, Optimal does not
appear in the menu. Optimal is the default value. When the transfer speed is
set to Optimal, the ServeRAID controller determines the best transfer speed,
based on the types of SCSI drives and enclosures in use.
v Ultra320 SCSI
v Ultra160 SCSI
v Ultra2 SCSI
v UltraSCSI
v Fast SCSI-2
