Making an Array Bootable
Notes:
■
If the controller is not bootable, you can disable its runtime
BIOS. (For details, see the table on
.) When the BIOS
is disabled, it does not occupy any of the expansion ROM
region of the system’s memory map. In a system with several
expansion ROMs, disabling the BIOS may be helpful.
■
The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its
bootable array. If you delete Array 00, the next lowest
numbered array becomes the bootable array.
■
You cannot make a non-00 array bootable while the array
is in a build/verify or rebuild process.
■
You may need to change the system BIOS to modify the
boot order. For more information, refer to the system
documentation.
You can make an array bootable so that the system boots from the
array instead of from a stand-alone (single) disk. To make an array
bootable:
1
From the ACU main menu, select
Manage Arrays
.
2
Select the array you want to make bootable, then press
Ctrl+B
.
This changes the selected array’s number to 00, making it the
controller’s boot array.
3
Restart the computer.
Deleting Arrays
Caution:
When you delete an array, you delete all the data
from the array. Before proceeding, back up any data you want
to keep.
To delete an existing array:
1
From the ACU main menu, select
Manage Arrays
.
2
Select the array you want to delete, then press
Delete
.
