11.4.2.1 Channel Settings
Termination
The termination for this channel of the ICP RAID controller can be set to three different
states:
AUTO: The termination of the lower (low byte) and upper data lines (high byte) is
enabled or disabled depending on the occupied SCSI connectors of this channel.
OFF: No lines are terminated
ON: All 8/16 data lines are terminated.
Warning: The SCSI bus termination of the ICP RAID controller must match the existing SCSI
cabling and cable termination. If the ICP RAID controller represents one end of the
SCSI bus, its termination must be ON or AUTO. If you change the termination to
OFF, it is likely that the SCSI bus will be unstable and the connected devices may
fail.
ID
Changes the SCSI ID of the SIOP (0-7).
11.4.2.2 Rescan ID(s)
This function allows you to rescan one or all ID’s of the selected SCSI channel. It displays
an overview of all powered SCSI devices which are currently connected with the SCSI
bus.
Warning: If the hard disk contains valid host drive or array drive information, it will be deleted
when creating new logical drives. All data will be lost.
11.4.2.3 Hot Plug: Add Disk
With the hot plug function you can add a new hard disk while the system is running.
Before starting the hot plug procedure, you should prepare the new hard disk and set the
jumpers according to the free SCSI IDs and SCSI bus termination. Ensure the correct
termination of the SCSI bus and set the ID of the hard disk to a free address if that is not
done automatically by your storage subsystem. If you do not know which IDs are in use
on the selected SCSI channel, you can find this out in the Physical Configuration window.
Wrong SCSI bus termination and/or SCSI ID conflicts will cause a failure of the complete
SCSI channel.
During the hot plug procedure enter the ID of the new hard disk (all free IDs are offered)
and then confirm a security request. Thereafter the SCSI channel is halted. Plug in the new
disk as soon as the appropriate dialog appears. After the successful completion of the hot
plug, the new physical drive appears in the Physical Configuration window. You can use it
to build a new host drive, replace a failed drive or expand an existing array drive. You
should only use the hot plug function with servers and/or subsystems which are designed
and certified for hot plugging of hard disks.
