Creating a RAID Set to Incorporate a Preinstalled OS Using the Sun StorageTek REM Card

The Sun StorageTek REM card enables you to choose from many RAID configurations. How you configure your system depends on your system requirements and the available hard disk drives in the system.

This procedure describes how to mirror the preinstalled Windows Server 2003 R2 OS. This is the better option, and all remaining disks (should there be more than 2) are incorporated into a DATA RAID set using the available options as shown in TABLE 4-2.

You will need the Sun Blade X6240 Server Module Tools & Drivers CD (707-0257).

To Incorporate a Preinstalled Windows OS Using the Sun StorageTek REM Card

Follow these steps to mirror your configured Windows Server 2003 R2 OS:

1.Log in to the server

2.Insert the supplied Tools & Drivers CD and install the SunStorageTek software.

If using Tools & Drivers CD 1.1 or later, an autorun will appear. Click on the link to install the SunStorageTek RAID management software and follow the install wizard.

If using a Tools & Drivers CD 1.0 or 1.0a, navigate to the following directory and double-click on the executable to install the software:

<cdrom drive>\RAIDmgmt\StorageTEK\Windows\3264bit\

3.Start the application.

4.Click on the screen to activate the Managed Systems list.

5.Log in at the prompt.
