Configuring RAID

The RAID configuration feature that is part of the EasyStartup program enables you to view and change RAID settings for supported RAID controllers. Through this feature, you have the ability to configure each installed controller. The program automatically detects the number of discs currently attached to the controller, determines the possible RAID configurations that can be configured, and prompts you through the steps to configure one or more disk arrays with or without hot-spare hard disk drives. As you configure each controller you will be given the option to save the RAID configuration settings to a RAID response file, which you can use on other similarly configured Lenovo servers. This method satisfies most users' needs.

Typical operating system installation

When you select Install operating system, you will be prompted for information required for the installation. The prompts vary depending on the operating system selected. This section describes the tasks associated with a typical Windows operating system installation. Each task must be completed in order before moving to the next task.

Note: Ensure that your RAID controller is correctly configured before you select an operating system to install.

•Select operating system: This task enables you to select the operating system that you will be installing.

•Select disk: This task enables you to select the disk where you want to install the operating system.

Note: The disk that you select must be set as the boot disk in the Setup Utility program.

•Partitions options: This task enables you to choose whether you want to repartition the selected drive or use an existing partition.

•Partition settings: This task enables you to choose the file system type and define the partition size.

•Installation settings: This task prompts you for user and system settings, the operating system product key, and the administrator password.

•Network settings: This task prompts you for domain and workgroup settings, Ethernet controller type, IP address settings, DNS settings, and WINS address settings.

•Install applications: This task enables you to run custom commands or scripts at the end of the installation process and install the ThinkServer EasyManage program to help you manage your servers.

•Install Windows components: This task enables you to install optional Windows components such as IIS, ASP.NET, and SNMP.

•Confirm settings: This task enables you to review all of the information you provided.

•Save response file: This task gives you the option of saving the information on a diskette or USB device as a response file for future installations on similarly configured Lenovo servers.

•Start installation: This task starts the actual installation process. First, the disk is prepared using the disk and partition information you specified. Then you are prompted to insert the operating system disk, and the operating system is installed using the information that you specified.

Configuring the onboard SATA software RAID

This chapter provides instructions on how to configure the onboard SATA software RAID by using the INTEL ESRT2 Configuration Utility program.

RAID information

During system startup, the SATA RAID BIOS is initialized and the BIOS version of the RAID adapter, the current RAID status, and the configuration of the array will be displayed on the screen. The status of the array will be one of the following:
