Restoring the disk-array configuration:
To restore
the disk-array configuration information for the ServeRAID
controller, use the
RAIDport Adapter Configuration CD and
an up-to-date disk-array configuration backup diskette.
Attention:
Dynamic changes in the configuration of the disk arrays
occur due to hot-spare drive replacement or other drive
maintenance activity. Because of this, the configuration
backup information on the diskette might be different from
the information stored in NVRAM for the ServeRAID
controller. Therefore, it is important that you back up the
disk-array configuration information frequently, to keep the
backup information on the diskette current.
To restore the ServeRAID configuration information:
1. Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see
“Starting the ServeRAID Configuration program” on
page 77).
2. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu;
then, press Enter.
3. Select Restore/Convert Saved Configuration from
the next menu; then, press Enter.
4. Insert the Disk-Array Configuration Backup diskette
into the diskette drive; then, press Enter.
5. A list of backup file names appears. Use the Up
Arrow (
↑
) or Down Arrow (
↓
) key to select the file
name that you want to restore; then, press Enter.
6. The Confirm pop-up window appears.
Select Yes to restore the configuration information, or
select No to return to the previous menu; then, press
Enter.
7. Press Esc to return to the Main Menu.
Testing the RAID subsystem:
You can use the
RAID Subsystem Diagnostic program to test the
ServeRAID controller and the devices connected to the
controller.
To test the RAID subsystem:
1. Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see
“Starting the ServeRAID Configuration program” on
page 77).
2. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu;
then, press Enter.
3. Select IBM RAID Subsystem Diagnostic from the
next menu; then, press Enter.
4. Select the diagnostic test that you want to run; then,
press Enter.
Descriptions of the diagnostic tests available are as
follows:
Ÿ
Run Adapter Self-tests tests the ServeRAID
controller. Restart the server after the self-test
completes.
