3.2.2 Configuring the Controller
To prepare the controller for using the RAIDWatch manager, do the
following:
1. Use a Terminal Emulator to Begin Configuration
Connect the subsystem’s serial port to a PC running a VT-100 terminal
emulation program or a VT-100 compatible terminal.
Make sure the included Null Modem is already attached to enclosure serial
port or the host computer’s COM port. The Null Modem converts the
serial signals for connecting to a standard PC serial interface. For more
details, please refer to the descriptions above in section 3.1.
2. Create a Reserved Space on Drives
Create one or more logical drives and the reserved space option will be
automatically available. The default size is 256MB, and it is recommended
to keep it as is. A reserved disk space will be formatted on every member
drives.
If you delete a logical drive later, the reserved space will remain intact.
Unless you manually remove the reserved space, data kept in it will be
unaffected. These drives can later be used to create a new logical drive
without making additional changes.
