RAID Configuration and Management
Using the Configuration Utility
After all hard drives have been installed and connected, press the
F8
key during
startup to run the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility and view the setup
screen.
IMPORTANT:
If the configuration utility setup (
F8
) is not run, the option ROM will
automatically configure the drives to individual RAID 0 arrays.
The setup screen has three menu windows:
•
•
•
Array Information
Physical Drive Information
Help Information
Array Information
IMPORTANT:
Drives cannot be added or removed from an array that has already been
configured without destroying the data present on the already configured array.
The
Array Information
window of the setup screen displays all the drive arrays
configured. Use this window to create, delete, or edit the existing configurations.
Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to navigate the properties, and then press the
Enter
key to edit your selection. Additional arrays can be created in this window.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the
HP ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and
Service Guide
for more information.
NOTE:
To add additional arrays, follow the onscreen steps after an array configuration is
selected. Refer to “Help Information” for more information about arrays.
Physical Drive Information
The
Physical Drive Information
window displays all the physical drives connected
to the ATA/100 controller channels and their properties. Press the up arrow and down
arrow keys to navigate this window. This window is not editable.
