Chapter 6: Advanced Configuration and Management

Configuring the hardware

The hardware configuration menu provides the options to set the Controller LUN, configure the controller port connection options, set the controller port data rate, configure the controller’s RS-232 port BAUD rate, and set the Packetized Data Transfer/QAS option.

Setting the controller LUN

This option lets the you override the automatic feature which causes the Controller LUN to automatically use the next available data LUN to communicate between StorView and the SATA RAID Controller. We recommend that this setting remain in the automatic mode.

Changing this parameter can alleviate a potential issue that some operating systems have with a controller showing up at the end of the data LUNs.

In the event you have an operating system that is having a problem with the controller LUN being displayed, select Disabled. This will allow the controller to use the next available data LUN but not be displayed to the operating system.

If the Controller LUN is required to be at a specific, user-defined LUN, choose the User Defined option and select from 0-511.
