RAID Configuration and Management
Using the Configuration Utility
After all hard drives have been installed and connected, press the F8 key during
startup to run the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility and view the setup
screen.
IMPORTANT: If you do not run the configuration utility setup (F8), the option ROM will
automatically configure the drives to individual RAID 0 arrays.
The setup screen has three menu windows:
Array Information
·
·
·
Physical Drive Information
Help Information
Array Information
IMPORTANT: You cannot add drives or remove drives from an array that already has been
configured, without destroying the data present on the already configured array.
The Array Information window of the setup screen displays all the drive arrays
configured. Use this window to create, delete, or edit the existing configurations.
Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to navigate the properties, and then press the
Enter key to edit your selection. You can create additional arrays in this window.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the HP ProLiant ML310 Server Maintenance and Service
Guide for more information.
NOTE: To add additional arrays, follow the onscreen steps after an array configuration is
selected. Refer to “Help Information” for more information about arrays.
Physical Drive Information
The Physical Drive Information window displays all the physical drives connected
to the ATA/100 controller channels and their properties. Press the up arrow and down
arrow keys to navigate this window. This window is not editable.
