J.4.7.1 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Change Drive Name
This command allows you to change the name of a Host Drive. The name serves to identify
a Host Drive within ICPCON and ICP RAID Navigator.
J.4.7.2 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Swap Host Drives
When the PCI computer is switched on, the Host Drives are initialized in the order of the
Host Drive list, which means that the operating system is booted from the Host Drive hav-
ing the lowest number. For reasons of flexibility, a Host Drive's position in the list can be
changed. However, the position of the Host Drive from which the operating system is
booted and the position of the Host Drive from which ICPCON (disk version) was started
(both can be the same), cannot be changed. If you wish to change the position of these
drives, you have to boot the operating system and ICPCON from a floppy disk or use the
ICPCON loadable from the Flash-RAM of the controller. To change the position of a Host
Drive in the Host Drive list, highlight the Host Drive and confirm with ENTER. Then, type on
the new position and press ENTER.
J.4.7.3 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Remove Host Drives
Removing a Host Drive is a serious action. All data will be lost after removal.
If you want to remove a Host Drive belonging to an Array Drive for which several Host
Drives exist (after capacity expansion, or after splitting), ALL other Host Drives will
also be removed.
J.4.7.4 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Split Host Drive
For some purposes it might be of interest to split an existing Host Drive into two or several
Host Drives. Each Host Drives looks to the operating system just like a single hard disk.
Since the new Host Drives have smaller capacities ICPCON has to write new header infor-
mation on the two Host Drives.
All data will be lost.
J.4.7.5 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Merge Host Drives
This function reverses the Split Host Drive option. Only such Host Drives can be merged
which belong to the same Array Drive or Logical Drive. Since the new Host Drives has a
larger capacity ICPCON has to write a new header information on the new Host Drives.
All
data will be lost.
J.4.7.6 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Partition Host Drives
The partitioning menu has similar functions as the MS-DOS program FDISK. You can create
and delete a partition and also change the active partition. MS-DOS can only be booted
from an active partition. Just like FDISK, ICPCON can handle primary partitions, extended
partitions, and logical drives within the extended partitions.
J.4.7.7 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Overwrite Master Boot Code
This option created a valid and consistent master boor record on the selected Host Drive
and should be carried out on any new Host Drive on which Windows NT is installed.
Never
use it on Host Drives containing valid data. They will be lost.
J.4.7.8 Menu Advanced Setup: Configure Host Drives, Drive Type (Cluster)
This option allows you to enable a Host Drive for clustering. Before that the shared IO
channel(s) of the ICP Controllers have to be also enabled for clustering.
