Setting a Disk Array As Bootable
You may select which defined array will be used as the bootable array from the
”Define Array Menu” (press [3] in the “Main Menu”). Highlight the desired array and
press the [Spacebar]. The system will now recognize this as the first array and an *
asterisk will appear next to the array number indicating it as bootable (see below).
NOTE:
Your PC or server must be configured to use SuperTrak SX6000 as the
bootable controller. The system will then use the bootable array as the (fixed) boot C:
drive.

Disk Array Recognition Order
During startup, the disk arrays on the SuperTrak SX6000 are recognized in this order:
(1)
The array set to bootable in the SuperBuild setup
(2)
By the Array number (i.e. Array 1, Array 2…). This would be involved in
determining which drive letters will be assigned to each disk array.
Saved Disk Array Information
NOTE:
Promise suggests that users record their disk array information for future
reference.
All disk array data is saved within the reserved sector of each arrayed drive.
Another feature of the SuperTrak SX6000 disk array system is to recognize drive
members even if drives are moved to different IDE channels on SuperTrak SX6000.
Since each drive’s array data identifies itself to the array, it is possible to reorder the
drives without modifying the array setup. This is valuable when adding drives, or during
a rebuild.
