Creating Bootable Arrays
Note:
You may need to change the system BIOS to modify the boot
order. For more information, refer to your computer’s documentation.
The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its bootable
array.
To make an array bootable:
1
Select
Manage Arrays
from the main ACU menu.
2
Select the array that you want to make bootable, then press
Ctrl+B
.
Note:
You cannot make an array bootable while it’s building,
verifying, or rebuilding.
The array’s number changes to Array 00, which makes this array the
controller’s boot array.
3
Restart your computer.
Initializing Disk Drives
If a disk drive appears grayed-out (unavailable for use in a new array), it
may need to be initialized.
To begin initializing a disk drive, select
Initialize Drives
from the main
ACU menu.
Caution:
Do not initialize a disk drive that is part of an array.
Initializing a disk drive that’s part of an array may make the array
unusable.
Back up all data from your disk drive before you initialize it.
Rescanning Disk Drives
To begin rescanning a disk drive, select
Rescan Drives
from the main
ACU menu.
