Configuring the controller

Configuring the controller

By running ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode, you can configure the controller before you install your operating system. The information in this section assumes that you are running ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode.

To run ServeRAID Manager in Startable CD mode, turn on the server; then, insert the CD into the DVD-ROM drive. If ServeRAID Manager detects an unconfigured controller and ready drives, the Configuration wizard starts, and a window similar to that shown in the following illustration opens.

Figure 6. “Configuration wizard” window

In the Configuration wizard, you can select express configuration or custom configuration. Express configuration automatically configures the controller by grouping the first two physical drives in the ServeRAID Manager tree into an array and creating a RAID level-1 logical drive. If you select custom configuration, you can select the two physical drives that you want to group into an array and create a hot-spare drive.
