Configuring ARO-1130U2 with the SCSISelect Utility
Exiting SCSI Select
To exit SCSISelect, press Esc until a message prompts you to exit (if
you changed any host adapter settings, you are prompted to save
the changes before you exit). Select Yes to exit, then press any key to
reboot the system. Any changes you made in SCSISelect take effect
after the server boots.
Using the SCSI Disk Utilities
To access the SCSI disk utilities, select the SCSI Disk Utilities
option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect. Once
the option is selected, SCSISelect immediately scans the SCSI bus (to
determine the devices installed) and displays a list of all SCSI IDs
and the devices assigned to each ID.
When you select a specific ID and device, a small menu appears, dis-
playing the options Format Disk and Verify Disk Media.
■
Format Disk —This utility allows you to perform a low-level
format on a hard disk drive. Each hard disk drive must be low-
level formatted before you can use your operating system’s
partitioning and file preparation utilities, such as MS-DOS
Fdisk and Format .
Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do
not need to be formatted again. The Adaptec Format Disk util-
ity is compatible with the vast majority of SCSI disk drives.
Caution:
A low-level format destroys all data on the
drive. Be sure to back up your data before performing
this operation. You cannot abort a low-level format
once it is started.
■
Verify Disk Media —This utility allows you to scan the media
of a hard disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks
on the media, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select yes,
those blocks are longer used. You can press Esc at any time to
abort the utility.
