Setup of disk array (RAID)
When an IDE RAID or RAID controller is additionally installed in the system after purchase, or if it is built in the server before delivery, it is required to set the disk array (RAID).
When “Simple setup” is selected from the “Selection of RAID configuration” during execution of the “Setup” of the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the RAID controller utilities have no need of operation because the RAID is configured by minimum setting in this case. When “Detailed setup” or “No setup” is selected, or the RAID is to be configured without use of the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, it is required to set up the RAID.
See “MegaRAID Software Guide.” or “MegaRAID IDE Setup”
If the operating system (OS) is installed in the server in which a RAID controller or IDE RAID is built in, be sure to install a Power Console Plus and Service for RAID controller or MegaRAID configuration Console for IDE RAID, that is a RAID monitor and control utility after installation of the OS (for Windows NT or Windows 2000).
NOTE: When installing Windows NT or Windows 2000 using the Toshiba Server Setup Tool, the Power Console Plus and Service or MegaRAID configuration Console can be automatically installed after installation of the operating system.
For installation with the Toshiba Server Setup Tool:
