Using the RAID configuration programs

Note: RAID options and HostRAID are not supported on the SCO 6.0 and

UnixWare 7.14 operating systems.

Use the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program, Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility program, and ServeRAID Manager to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID). Be sure to use these programs as described in this document.

The ServeRAID 8k-l SAS Controller that comes with the TD100 server (hot-swap SAS and hot-swap SATA models) enables you to configure multiple physical SAS or SATA hard disk drives to operate as logical drives in a disk array. The server comes with a CD containing the ServeRAID Manager program, which you can use to configure the ServeRAID 8k-l SAS Controller. If your server comes with an operating system installed, such as Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, see the software documentation that comes with the server for configuration information.

Use these programs to perform the following tasks:

vPerform a low-level format on a hard disk drive

vView or change IDs for attached devices

vSet protocol parameters on hard disk drives

vMonitor operation of the RAID controller

vConfigure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array

vView or change the RAID configuration and associated devices

Consider the following information when using the RAID configuration programs to configure and manage arrays:
