12. Provide the following information.
Notes:
a. The controller name and partner name are case sensitive.
b. If your configuration will contain multiple ServeRAID controller pairs, each
controller name must be unique.
Controller name
This is the same name as the partner name in step 8 on page 46. For
example, Controller B.
Partner name
This is the same name as the controller name in step 8 on page 46.
For example, Controller A.
SCSI initiator IDs
The system presets these IDs to 7. When configuring the second
controller, do not change these values.
Note: The ServeRAID Manager program does not permit you to enter
numbers other than 6 and 7.
13. Click OK.
Connecting the expansion enclosures
After you configure the controllers, you must connect the expansion enclosures to
the ServeRAID controllers.
1. Connect the expansion enclosure to each of the ServeRAID controllers.
Important
When connecting the cables, you must connect the same channel connectors on both
ServeRAID controllers to the same expansion enclosure. For example, if you connect the
cable from Channel 1 on the first ServeRAID controller to the first expansion enclosure,
then you must connect the cable from Channel 1 on the second ServeRAID controller to the
first expansion enclosure.
2. Restart the server with the IBM ServeRAID Support CD (or the configuration CD
that came with your server) in the CD-ROM drive.
