Getting Started
Before using the Intel Integrated RAID browser software, do the initial setup and installation of
this product. See
Section 2.5, “GSU31 Setup and Installation” on page 2-22
for complete
installation instructions.
If you intend to boot the operating system from a RAID volume, you must first create
a RAID
volume by using the RAID Configuration Utility. Refer to
Section 2.3.3, “Creating a RAID
Volume in RAID Configuration Utility” on page 2-6
for information on creating this initial RAID
volume.
Configuration of the Intel Integrated RAID Storage Console is an HTML-based application which
utilizes the browser installed on your operating system. Storage Console can be used to create and
modify RAID volumes, set the migration rate, add global hot spares and monitor RAID volume
status.
Note:
Use the confirmation and cancellation buttons in place of the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons
on the HTML browser.
