Configuring Your Server    4-47

Configuring RAID

Take the following steps to configure RAID.

IMPORTANT:

„

 

Once the array is created and its properties are assigned, you cannot
change the array properties.

„

 

Be sure to set Bootable according to "Managing Arrays" using the
BIOS SETUP utility. Otherwise, the memory dump cannot be
collected at system failure, or other problem will be raised.

 

1. 

Start the ACU.

See "Running the Array Configuration Utility (ACU)" described earlier.

 

2. 

Use the cursor key to select [Array Configuration Utility] from the Options menu, and
press 

Enter.

 

3. 

From the main menu, select [Create Array] and press 

Enter
