Booting OS/2 from a
Smart Array 3200 Controller
This section includes information on booting a system from a Smart Array 3200 Controller.
The CPQARRAY.ADD driver must be present when booting from a Smart Array 3200 Controller (the Compaq IAES is not a bootable device).
If a Smart Array 3200 Controller is the primary disk controller, edit the CONFIG.SYS file and make sure the BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD entry in the file is the first BASEDEV entry. This ensures that the CPQARRAY.ADD driver is the first ADD driver loaded causes OS/2 to assign the first hard drive on the first Smart Array 3200 Controller as the boot drive. For example:
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD
BASEDEV=CPQ53CX.ADD
For OS/2 to boot from another controller, order the other controller first:
BASEDEV=AMSI02.ADD
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD
