Please note the following:
•You cannot delete a logical drive during a reconstruction. Also, you cannot delete a logical drive during a rebuild, initialization, or check consistency of a logical drive, if that drive has a higher logical drive number than the drive you want to delete. You must wait until these processes have completed before deleting the logical drive.
•Drive size extension is not possible, even though you can use non- contiguous free space to create a new logical drive.
•You cannot move an existing logical drive to another area to protect it from defragmentation caused by random deletion.
The MegaRAID Configuration Software User’s Guide has detailed procedures for deleting logical drives.
1.1.7Background Initialization
Background initialization is a process to correct parity on the virtual disks. It ensures that striped data segments are the same on all physical disks in a disk array.
The background initialization rate is controlled by the background initialization rate set using your array management software. You must stop an ongoing background initialization before you change the rate, or the rate change will not take effect. After you stop background initialization and change the rate, the rate change will take effect when you restart background initialization.
Note: Unlike initialization of virtual disks, background initialization does not clear data from the physical disks.
1.1.8Operating System Support
The MegaRAID Serial ATA storage adapters support several major operating systems. LSI Logic provides device drivers and RAID management tools for operating systems on the Universal Driver Suite CD that accompanies the SATA boards.
You can download the latest drivers and software from the download center on the LSI Logic web site at http://www.lsilogic.com/cm/DownloadSearch.do. Follow the steps to download the driver.
