Using ServeRAID Manager

You can use the ServeRAID Manager program, provided on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD, to:

vConfigure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)

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

vView your RAID configuration and associated devices

vMonitor operation of your RAID controllers

The ServeRAID Manager program operates in two ways:

vStartable-CD mode

vAs an installed software program

See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID technology and instructions for using ServeRAID Manager. The Installation Guide for your server also contains instructions for using ServeRAID Manager to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities.

Notes:

1.The integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities in your server supports only RAID level-1. Installing an optional ServeRAID-5i controller provides additional RAID levels.

2.If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the configuration method supplied with the RAID adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.

Before you install your operating system, you must configure the controller that is attached to the hard disk drives. You must use the configuration program on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities or to configure an optional IBM ServeRAID controller.

Notes:

1.You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the optional controllers.

2.To update the firmware and BIOS for an optional ServeRAID controller, you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID option.
