Remove Host Drives
CAUTION
All data is lost after the removal of a host drive.
If you remove a host drive belonging to an array drive to which several host drives belong (after
capacity expansion, or after splitting), the data on ALL other host drives will be lost.
Split Host Drive
For some purposes it might be necessary to split an existing host drive into two or several host
drives using the
Split Host Drive
option. To the operating system, each host drives looks like a
single hard disk.
Since newly split host drives have smaller capacities, StorCon must write new header information
on the new host drives.
This command results in all data being lost
.
Merge Host Drives
This function reverses the Split Host Drive option. Only host drives which belong to the same
array drive or logical drive can be merged. Since the new host drives have a larger capacity,
StorCon has to write new header information on the new host drives.
This command results in all
data being lost
.
Partition Host Drives
The partitioning menu has similar functions to the MS-DOS program FDISK. You can create and
delete a partition and also change the active partition. MS-DOS can only be booted from an active
partition. Just like FDISK, StorCon can handle primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical
drives within the extended partitions.
Overwrite Master Boot Code
This option creates a valid and consistent master boot record on the selected host drive and should
be carried out on any new host drive on which Windows NT is installed.
Never use it on host
drives containing valid data, otherwise all data will be lost
.
Drive Type (Cluster)
Use this command to enable a host drive for clustering. Shared IO channel(s) of the Intel RAID
Controller SRCMRs must be enabled for clustering prior to using this command.
