Configure for Clustering: This choice
is available in the Information mode
only. You can select this choice to
define the ServeRAID controller for use
in a high-availability, shared-disk cluster
environment. Detailed instructions for
using the clustering features are
provided in the
IBM Netfinity
High-Availability Cluster Solution
Installation and User's Guide. You can

Ÿ
Initialize the Controller Configuration:
This choice is available in both the
Configuration and Information modes.
Select this choice to delete the
ServeRAID controller configuration.
Attention
After you initialize the controller
configuration, you will not have
access to any data stored on the
logical drives attached to the
selected ServeRAID adapter or
controller.
This choice deletes the existing
configuration information, sets all
functional hard disk drives attached to
the controller to the Ready state, and
deletes all logical drives defined for the
controller.
This choice does not change any of the
ServeRAID adapter or controller settings
(such as the stripe-unit size, rebuild rate,
and so on) from their current or
customized values.
Ÿ
Copy the Configuration from the
Drives to the Controller: This choice
is available in the Information mode
only; it copies the configuration
information stored on the hard disk
drives to the ServeRAID controller. This
function is useful when you import
previously configured drives from
another system, or when you replace
the ServeRAID adapter or controller.
