Configuring an AcceleRAID352 RAID
system
Introduction
Before configuring the Mylex PCI RAID card, you must have access to the
driver disk.
For firmware updates (see “To flash upgrades in the AcceleRAID352
controller” on page 193), you must also have firmware and utility versions.
The minimum version of the RAID controller BIOS/Firmware and utility is
specified below:
Drive coercion
The RAID controller Mylex AcceleRAID352 includes a feature called Drive
Coercion. This feature allows drive capacities from different vendors to
appear to be the same size.
Drive coercion also allows you to replace a dead existing drive with a drive
of the same capacity from a different manufacturer, even if it is slightly
smaller physically. This feature rounds up the actual capacity to an integral
number of chunks (the truncation factor). The truncation factor is in the
range of five percent of the hard drive. System pack sizing is not required
while creating system packs with this controller.
