4-96 Configuring Your Server
Disk Array
WebBIOS manages Disk Array by a number of 0 origin. You can see a number of Disk Array where
[DG X] in Physical Drives and Virtual Drives.
Universal RAID Utility manages Disk Array by a number of 1 origin. You can see a number of Disk
Array where [Disk Array] in the property of Logical Drive on RAID Viewer or [RAID Controller
#X Disk Array #Y] in the property of Disk Array on raidcmd command.
Physical Drive and Physical Device
WebBIOS manages Physical Drive by three numbers (Connector number:Enclosure number:Slot
number). You can view these numbers shown by [x:x:x] in Physical Drives box. Note, however, the
Connector number is always shown as "()" because it is not supported with this server. The
Enclosure numbers are represented by 1-origin, and the Slot numbers are represented by 0-origin.
Universal RAID Utility manages Physical Device by number of 1-origin and ID, Enclosure number,
and Slot number. The numbers of physical devices connected to the controller are sorted in
ascending order based on ID and assigned with 1-origin number starting from the smallest number.
The ID is same value of Connected Port shown in Physical Drives Properties box in WebBIOS.
Enclosure number and Slot number are 1-origin.
IMPORTANT:
Note that the slot numbers shown in Physical Drives
box of WebBIOS are represented by 0-origin numbers, but those in
Universal RAID Utility are 1-origin numbers.
