Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program
Use the built-in, menu-driven LSI Logic Configuration program to:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
v
Perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive
v Set the SCSI device scan order
v
Set the SCSI ID for a controller
Notes:
1. The integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities in your server supports
RAID level 1. However, you might have to download an updated release of
the system abstraction layer/extensible firmware interface (SAL/EFI) code for
the firmware and device driver to provide support for RAID level 1. To
download the SAL/EFI code, when it is available, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web.
2. You must configure your SCSI controller with RAID capabilities before you
install your operating system to use RAID level 1.
3. The internal hard disk drives can connect only to the integrated SCSI
controller with RAID capabilities.
4. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the
configuration method supplied with the RAID adapter to view or change SCSI
settings for attached devices.
Complete the following steps to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program:
1. Turn on the server and watch the monitor screen.
2. From the EFI Boot Manager startup options, select EFI Shell.
3. Type drivers -b to display the device driver handle identifiers. Note the device
driver handle identifier in the far left column for the LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI
device driver.
4. Type
drvcfg drv
to display the controller identifiers. Note the controller identifier
for the LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI device driver.
5. Type drvcfg drv ctrl -s . to run the utility (where drv is the device driver
handle identifier and ctrl is the controller identifier).
6. Type drvcfg /? for help.
You can use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to perform a low-level
format on a SCSI hard disk drive. Complete the following steps to format a drive:
1. Select the controller channel for the drive from the list of adapters.
2. Select Device Properties .
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the drive to format.
Attention: Low-level formatting removes all data from the hard disk. If there is
data you want to save, back up the hard disk before continuing this procedure.
4. Use the arrow keys or the End key to scroll to the right.
5. Highlight Format ; then, press Enter to start.
