In the previous chapter we installed the ICP Controller in a PCI computer and connected the
SCSI devices. Now these SCSI devices must be prepared in order to run with your operating
system. This
Quick-Setup
chapter should help you to get started quickly. Quick-Setup
shows
four examples
on how a single SCSI hard disk, a Mirroring Array Drive (RAID 1), a
RAID 5 Array Drive and a RAID 5 Array Drive with a Hot Fix drive are installed:
Example 1:
Installing a single SCSI hard disk.
Example 2:
Installing a Mirroring Array Drive (RAID 1), consisting of two
SCSI hard disks.
Example 3:
Installing a RAID 5 Array Drive, consisting of five identical
SCSI hard disks.
Example 4:
Installing a RAID 5 Array Drive, consisting of four identical
SCSI hard disks, and adding one Hot Fix SCSI hard disk.
Examples 3 and 4 are not applicable to ICP Controllers without the
RAIDYNE
firmware
.
Even if you cannot practically carry out all the examples yourself, we suggest reading them
all the same because they will give you a better understanding of how the controllers of the
GDT RP Series work. The following table tells you which examples are applicable to your
type of ICP Controller.

installed.
With examples 3 and 4 we shall briefly repeat the installation of the ICP Controller and the
SCSI devices, in particular with regard to disk arrays.
Some essential issues having direct impact on the structure and configuration of an Array
Drive with RAIDYNE will also be discussed:
