Installing the Operating System with Express Setup 5-53
<SATA HostRAID>
„
Only use the HostRAID drive as a system drive.
„
Only a hard disk drive can be connected to a channel with which HostRAID is enabled
through the BIOS setup utility.
„
To connect a device other than a hard disk drive, disable HostRAID and use it as the
standard SATA.
„
If you replace a hard disk drive being used with HostRAID, please replace the hard disk
drive after power-off of the system. Be sure to check the PORT number of the hard disk
drive to be replaced in ASMBE or ASM in advance.
„
To start the system from the created array, be sure to create a bootable array. See Chapter
4 "Setting of Bootable" in this manual.
If you do not create a bootable array, the memory dump can not be collected when a
trouble occurs.
„
SATA HostRAID does not support "Migration of hard disk drive (Migration)".
<Common NOTES>
„
In addition to driver installation, ASMBE or ASM installation is mandatory for using
HostRAID functions. For the installation of ASMBE or ASM, refer to the "Adaptec
Storage Manager

- Browser Edition User's Guide" or "Adaptec Storage Manager

,"
respectively.
„
HostRAID does not permit the use of the standby/hibernation mode of ACPI functions.
„
Use ASMBE or ASM to maintain HostRAID, but do not use any other utilities.
„
Create at least one OS partition in the array you have created. If the OS partition does not
exist, the Verify may be executed for the array at the system boot.
„
If the following messages are included in the application log or log generated by the
ASMBE, your RAID system operates normally.
– Spare test failed for pool spare (bus=%2, ch=%3, id=%4)
– Test of all spares completed with %1 failures
