After completing the hardware installation, the disk array must be
configured and the logical unit must be initialized before it is ready
to use. This can be accomplished through the following user
interfaces :
Front Panel function keys ( LCD Display )
or
VT100 terminal connected through the serial port ( Monitor Port)
or
The GUI S/W (Graphical User Interface). Defails please refer to the
Global-Eyes CD-Rom.
The LCD display panel and a VT100 terminal can not be used
at the same time.
This chapter guides you through setting up your Disk Array for the
first time. This chapter contains information on setup. The setup
program is a menu-driven utility which enables you to make
changes to the configuration and tailor your Disk Array to your
individual needs.
The setup program is a ROM-based configuration utility which
displays the Disk Array’s status and allows you to set up the
parameters. The parameters are stored in a nonvolatile battery
backup CMOS RAM which saves the information even when the
power is off.
By using an easy-to-use user interface, you can configure such
items as :
RAID Level
Hot Spare Disk
SCSI ID
Password ( For protection from unauthorized use )
Firmware update (VT100 Terminal mode only) —- for update
procedures please refer to Chapter 4 : Advanced information.
The setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use
as possible. By using a menu-driven program, you can scroll
through the various sub-menus and make your selections among
the various predetermined choices.
