Using the SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)

Use the SCSISelect Utility to add RAID levels 0 and 1 functionality to the SCSI controller. This utility is part of the BIOS code in your server.

The integrated SCSI RAID feature (SCSI HostRAID) comes disabled by default. You must enable the SCSI RAID feature and install the device drivers before you can use it. The SCSI RAID configuration utilities, device drivers, and information are available on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD. If this CD did not come with your server, you can download the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD from the IBM Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Enabling the SCSI HostRAID feature

Complete the following steps to enable the SCSI RAID feature:

1.Turn on the server and watch the monitor screen.

2.When the message Press <CTRL><A> for SCSISelect Utility appears, press Ctrl+A. If you have set a supervisor password, you are prompted to type the password.

3.Use the arrow keys to select the channel for which you want to change settings and press Enter.

4.Select Configure/View SCSI Controller Setting; then, select HostRAID.

5.Select Enabled.

6.Press Esc; then, select Yes to save the changes.

Using the SCSI HostRAID feature

The instructions in this section describe how to access the SCSI RAID feature from the SCSISelect Utility program and perform an initial RAID level-1 configuration on your server. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the configuration method described in the instructions that come with that adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.

See the documentation on the IBM ServeRAID-7e (Adaptec HostRAID) Support CD for additional information about how to use the SCSI HostRAID feature.

Configuring the controller: Complete the following steps to use the SCSI

HostRAID feature to configure a RAID level-1 array on your server:

1.From the SCSISelect main menu, select Configure/View HostRAID Settings.

2.From the list of ready drives, type C to create an array.
