SCSI ID 4, LUN 0 to be reserved as a Raw Device. ICP Controller 0 is the ICP Controller
which is detected and configured first after switching on your computer system).

and rebooting the system.
Note: This reservation can also be carried out within the ICPService in the Control Panel.
Double-click on the ICPService icon. Here is a field “Driver”, where you can also add the

F.2.6 Adding Additional Capacity After An Online Capacity Expansion
The additional capacity resulting from an online capacity expansion of an existing Array
Drive is introduced to the system as a new Host Drive. In order to be able to make use of
the new capacity without having to down the server, use the
Disk Administrator . When load-
ing, it detects the new Host Drive.
F.2.7 Update Windows NT -> Windows 2000
For an update from Windows NT -> Windows 2000 it is very important that you load under
NT the current ICP driver (gdtx.sys) BEFORE you update Windows NT -> Windows 2000.
Otherwise the update procedure may hang or fail.
F.3 Windows 2000
Your ICP Controller may be operated in Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server
and Windows 2000 Advanced Server . The ICP Controller is integrated into the Windows
2000 operating system through the GDTX.SYS driver which is the same for both Windows
2000 variants
For some ICP Controllers there is a special and optional firmware available (Cluster
RAIDYNE®), which allows the setup and operation of
Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS).
For further information on ICP clustering, check our website or contact us directly.
