Configuring the active controller
Complete the following steps to configure the active controller:
1. Turn on the server.
Note: The cables to the drive enclosure must not be attached when you start
the server.
2. Insert the IBM ServeRAID Support CD into the CD-ROM drive. The ServeRAID
Manager program starts.
3. If the ServeRAID Manager program starts the Configuration wizard, a window
similar to the following opens. Click Cancel to exit the Configuration wizard;
then, in the confirmation window, click Yes .
4. In the ServeRAID Manager tree, click the ServeRAID controller that you want
to configure as the active controller.
Attention
Restore the ServeRAID controller to factory-default settings only once, when the controller
is first installed. This process removes all configuration information from NVRAM, including
the SCSI initiator IDs, the controller and partner names, and the array information.
This point is especially important if the Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 system startup
drive is attached to the IBM ServeRAID controller. If this process occurs after the
startup-drive array has been created, the array information will be removed, and the system
will no longer start in Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0.
If you already have logical drives defined on the controller that you want to keep, go to step
7. Steps 5 on page 54 and 6 on page 54 will cause loss of data by deleting all logical drives
already defined.
