Setup of disk array (RAID)
When an IDE RAID or RAID controller is additionally installed
in the system after purchase, or if it is built in the server before
delivery, it is required to set the disk array (RAID).
When “Simple setup” is selected from the “Selection of RAID
configuration” during execution of the “Setup” of the Toshiba
Server Setup Tool, the RAID controller utilities have no need of
operation because the RAID is configured by minimum setting in
this case. When “Detailed setup” or “No setup” is selected, or the
RAID is to be configured without use of the Toshiba Server Setup
Tool, it is required to set up the RAID.
See “MegaRAID Software Guide.” or “MegaRAID IDE Setup”
If the operating system (OS) is installed in the server in which a
RAID controller or IDE RAID is built in, be sure to install a Power
Console Plus and Service for RAID controller or MegaRAID con-
figuration Console for IDE RAID, that is a RAID monitor and
control utility after installation of the OS (for Windows NT or
Windows 2000).
NOTE: When installing Windows NT or Windows 2000 using
the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the Power Console Plus and
Service or MegaRAID configuration Console can be automat-
ically installed after installation of the operating system.
For installation with the Toshiba Server Setup Tool:
See “Toshiba Server Setup Tool User’s Guide” (on the Docu-
mentation CD-ROM).
