Configure the UltraTrak
The configuration procedures for the UltraTrak SX4000, UltraTrak SX8000 and
UltraTrak RM8000 are exactly the same. The following procedures provide the
basic steps needed to create an array and get your UltraTrak running quickly.
Before beginning, you need to decide if you will create an array using the
automatic setup features or if you will create the array manually. Both procedures
are provided, but you can only use one of them.
You may want UltraTrak to create the array for you if you do not have a good
technical understanding of various RAID technologies.
How to Automatically Create an Array
1. Ensure that the UltraTrak power is off.
2. Install the disk drives into the UltraTrak and lock the Drive Carrier lever.
3. Switch the power on and wait for the UltraTrak to initialize.
4. Press
the SEL button on the front panel.
5. Press button once to select Configuration , then press SEL button.
6. Enter the password at the prompt (see Enter Password on page 15).
7. At
Configure Array , press SEL .
8. Array Setup should be selected, press SEL .
If the message “*No Free Disk” appears, it means that an array has already
been configured. If you wish to re-create a new array, then you need to first
delete the existing array before you can proceed. (See page 50, “Delete
Array”, for more details.)
9. With RAID Level selected, press SEL .
10. Use the and button to select the proper RAID level for your array,
press SEL to choose the selected RAID level. See Choosing a RAID level
on page 21 for help in choosing the proper RAID level.
11. Press SEL to create the array or press EXIT to cancel.
12. If you elected to create the array then you should see the message “Array
has been created.”
13. Switch the UltraTrak power off – wait a few seconds and switch the power
back on.
You have successfully created an array automatically. If you haven’t already
done so, you need to select a SCSI ID before you can begin using the UltraTrak.
