v Accessing the ServeRAID Manager using the keyboard
Using the ServeRAID Manager in bootable-CD mode
The ServeRAID Manager program operates in two ways:
v bootable-CD mode
v As an installed software program.
When you run the ServeRAID Manager program from the IBM ServeRAID Support
CD, you are using bootable-CD mode. The bootable-CD mode allows you to
configure your ServeRAID controller before you install your operating system. After
you have configured the ServeRAID controller and installed the operating system,
you also can use bootable-CD mode to fine-tune specific ServeRAID controller
settings.
To run the ServeRAID Manager program in bootable-CD mode, turn on the server;
then, insert the IBM ServeRAID Support CD (or the CD that contains the
ServeRAID Manager program that came with your server) into the CD-ROM drive.
If the ServeRAID Manager program detects unconfigured ServeRAID controllers
and ready drives, the program automatically starts the Configuration wizard.
These are the actions that are available in bootable-CD mode only:
v Changing the rebuild rate
v Changing the stripe-unit size
v Changing BIOS-compatibility mapping
v Changing the SCSI-transfer speed
v Enabling and disabling read-ahead cache mode
v Enabling and disabling unattended mode
v Changing the write-cache mode on a physical drive
