Using RAID Manager

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

UnixWare 7.14 operating systems.

Use ServeRAID Manager, which is on the IBM ServeRAID Manager Application CD, to perform the following tasks:

vConfigure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array

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

vView the RAID configuration and associated devices

vMonitor the operation of the RAID controllers

To perform some tasks, you can run ServeRAID Manager as an installed program. However, to configure the integrated RAID controller or the installed ServeRAID controller and perform an initial RAID configuration on the 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 the server, use the method that is described in the instructions that come with the adapter to view or change 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 the RAID controller. 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.
