Operation
If there are any existing IR volumes when this command is run you are notified with an output
message, no action is taken and
cfggen
returns SUCCESS. If IR is currently enabled when this
command is run,
cfggen
returns SUCCESS.
Faulty controller or peripheral hardware (such as., cables, disk drives, and so on.) will not cause
this utility to hang. It exits with the appropriate return value. If an operation fails, a reasonable
attempt is made to recover the operation. This may include clearing the fault condition by whatever
means necessary and retrying the operation.
DISABLEIR
The
DISABLEIR
command turns off IR functionality on a SAS controller. To accomplish the
disabling, set the MPI_IOUNITPAGE1_DISABLE_IR bit in the
IO Unit 1 MPT Configuration
page.

The following information is provided to assist you in configuring the Smart Array P400, P600
and P800 controllers during installation. For additional information refer to the following documents:

Smart Array P600 Controller for Integrity Servers User Guide
•
Smart Array P800 Controller for Integrity Servers User Guide
Quick Installation Procedure
To install the controller, follow these steps:
1.
Power off the server.
2.
Install additional physical drives if necessary (see
“Connecting External Storage” (page 306)
).
The number of drives in the server determines the RAID level that is auto configured when
the server is powered on.
3.
Power on the server.
4.
Update the controller firmware (see
). When the firmware
update process is complete, the server reboots and runs through a POST procedure. This
POST procedure halts briefly during controller initialization and prompts you to open
ORCA
(Option ROM Configuration for Arrays).
