Using ServeRAID Manager

Use ServeRAID Manager, which is on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD, to:

vConfigure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)

vRestore a SCSI hard disk drive to the factory-default settings, erasing all data from the disk

vView your RAID configuration and associated devices

vMonitor the operation of your RAID controllers

To perform some tasks, you can run ServeRAID Manager as an installed program. However, to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and perform an initial RAID configuration on your server, you must run ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode, as described in the instructions in this section. 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 ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID technology and instructions for using ServeRAID Manager to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities. Additional information about ServeRAID Manager is also available from the Help menu. For information about a specific object in the ServeRAID Manager tree, select the object and click Actions Hints and tips.
