6-6 Installing the Operating System Drivers
Updating the Compaq Insight
Manager Agents
If you are using Compaq Insight Manager, you will need to update the Insight Agents to support the new Smart Array 3200 Controller. If you used SmartStart
4.22or later to install the operating system on a new Smart Array 3200 Controller installation or to upgrade the driver in an existing installation, the agents were manually updated automatically by SmartStart. You will not need to update the agents.
If you did not use SmartStart 4.22 or later as part of your Smart Array 3200 Controller installation, you must manually update the Insight Agents. The correct agents can be obtained from your local Compaq Reseller or authorized Compaq Service Provider. Refer to the documentation included with Compaq Insight Manager for the correct procedure for updating agents.
Installation of the Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller is complete. Reboot the server to begin using the array controller.
Software Drive Mirroring with NetWare
NetWare recognizes each logical drive in an array as a separate physical drive. If you mirror logical drives on the same array and a physical drive fails, both logical drives in the mirrored pair will also fail and your data will be lost.
To avoid this, you must mirror logical drives on separate arrays. Use the Compaq Array Configuration Utility for NetWare (CPQONLIN.NLM) on Novell SSD Disk 1 to view the logical configuration for the Smart Array 3200 Controller. Record the logical drives and the arrays on which they reside. When configuring NetWare for drive mirroring, select equally sized logical drives on different arrays.
IMPORTANT: Do not use NetWare drive mirroring if you do not have at least two arrays.
