ICP RAID Console
Swap Host Drives
When the computer is switched on, the host drives are initialized in the order of the host
drive list, which means that the operating system is booted from the host drive having the
lowest number. For reasons of flexibility, a host drive's position in the list can be changed.
However, the position of the host drive from which the operating system is booted and the
position of the host drive from which ICPCON (disk version) was started (both can be the
same), cannot be changed. To change the position of these drives, you have to boot the
operating system and ICPCON from a floppy disk or use the ICPCON loadable from the
Flash-RAM of the controller. To change the position of a host drive in the host drive list,
highlight the host drive and confirm with Enter. Then, type in the new position and press
Enter.
Remove Host Drive
Warning:
All data is lost after the removal of a host drive.
If you remove a host drive belonging to an array drive to which several host drives belong
(after capacity expansion, or after splitting), the data on ALL other host drives will be lost.
Split Host Drive
Warning:
This command results in all data being lost.
For some purposes, it might be necessary to split an existing host drive into two or several
host drives using the
Split Host Drive
option. To the operating system, each new host
drive looks like a single hard disk.
Since newly split host drives have smaller capacities, ICPCON must write new header
information on the new host drives.
Note:
Split Host Drive
is only available in XROM ICPCON.
Merge Host Drives
Warning:
This command results in all data being lost.
This function reverses the
Split Host Drive
option. Only host drives which belong to the
same array drive or logical drive can be merged. Since the new host drives have a larger
capacity, ICPCON has to write new header information on the newly merged host drive.
Partition Drive
The partitioning menu has similar functions to the MS-DOS program FDISK. You can
create and delete a partition and also change the active partition. Just like FDISK,
ICPCON can handle primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives within the
extended partitions.
