Symantec ALTIRIS DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION 7.1 - FOR DELL SERVERS V1.0, Manual

Page: 34 / 47

This view shows the hardware on your server. It contains information such as
the resource ID and the RAID configuration.
■
Clear RAID Options
You can choose whether the existing RAID configuration is cleared on any
controllers. If you do not clear any existing configurations, your new
configuration fails. You need to manually clear any existing RAID
configurations if you do not select the corresponding option to clear that RAID
configuration.
If you select the option to clear any controller, Deployment Solution for Dell
removes all existing configurations. For example, you have 10 different RAID
configurations on 10 different controllers and select this option. All of those
configurations are cleared.
Defining rules for RAID configurations
This task lets you use a graphical tool to define different RAID configuration rules.
The rules are based on the number of controllers and virtual disks on the RAID.
See “About configuration files” on page 29.
Your RAID controllers are configured according to the order that you add them
in the RAID tool. This order might be different from the order that they display
in the graphical representation on the Configure RAID Controllers page.
The RAID tool is supported officially only on Internet Explorer 8.
The task window graphically represents the server configuration rules that you
created. The first rule that matches the RAID is applied. You can change the order
of the rules with the arrow icons.
You can also perform different actions on existing rules by clicking the following
icons:
■
Pencil - Edits the selected rule.
■
X - Deletes the selected rule.
■
Clipboard - Copies the selected rule.
You can access this task from the Create New Job or Task page.
See “Creating a deployment task for a Dell server” on page 26.
To define rules for RAID configurations
1 From the Configure RAID Controllers page, click the Add icon.
A new icon for your rule appears in the list.
