Tips
Perform a RAID status check and consistency check (see “To check the
status of the RAID system” on page 238, and “To check the consistency
of the system drives” on page 241) at least one day before the planned
upgrade date. If you find errors, this early check gives you time to
contact Nortel Networks technical support (if necessary), and resolve the
errors before you begin the upgrade.
When you do proceed with the RAID splitting and upgrade procedure,
ensure that you once again perform the RAID status check and
consistency check to ensure that no new errors have been introduced.
Ignore the “CallPilot is booting” dialog box that appears after you restart
the server, and log on to Windows NT. You do not need to wait for
CallPilot to boot while you are performing maintenance tasks. Also,
disregard any dialog boxes that appear if CallPilot does not boot
successfully while you are performing maintenance tasks.
Use the arrow keys to navigate in the DAC960 Configuration Utility
window. You can use the mouse to select items in the DAC
Administration Utility window.
If you are not sure which RAID controller is installed, restart the server
and observe which RAID controller is detected in the POST messages.
