• If you installed your operating system when you installed the
storage switch, you may have made a mistake in installing the
operating system. Reinstall your operating system.
Q9: Under Windows NT, disks show up at boot time but don’t
show up in Disk Administrator.
The driver has not been installed. See “Installing the storage switch
on systems that boot from a different device” on page 52.
Q10: An array does not appear in the 3ware BIOS scrolling
messages and shows up as incomplete in the Disk Array Config-
uration Utility’s main display similar to the following:
Array Unit 1 - Incomplete 6.5 GB
Port 1 - FUJITSU MPC3065AH 6.5 GB
The array has some but not all of its members available. The array
will be unusable. If this array is your boot device, your machine
will not boot. You must either find the missing disk and replace it to
complete the array, or release the member disks by deleting the
incomplete array(s) listed in the display. Remember that deleting a
disk array overwrites any existing data on the member drives.
Q11: Under Windows NT, disks don’t appear in the Windows
Explorer, but appear in the 3ware BIOS scrolling messages and
appear in the Disk Array Configuration Utility’s main display.
Log in as the administrator. Partition and format any new disk
arrays or freed disks using Disk Administrator. Choose Programs
from the Start menu, followed by Administrative Tools and Disk
Administrator.
Q12: The use of Red Hat’s Disk Druid partitioning utility with
Red Hat 6.2 or 7.0 is limited to 112 GB.
Use fdisk if more storage capacity is required.
Q13: I have created partitions over 70G but FDISK seems to
think that I have a 6G partition.
