Chapter 3 Configuration Utility
The subsystem has a setup configuration utility containing important information
about the configuration as well as settings for various optional functions in the
subsystem. This chapter explains how to use and make changes to the setup utility.
Configuration Method
The RAID subsystem can be configured using the Application Program provided with
the subsystem. There are three versions: Microsoft Windows version, Linux version,
and Mac OS version.
IMPORTANT:
The RAID subsystem must be connected to the Host system in
order to configure the RAID subsystem. If the RAID subsystem is not connected
to the Host system, the Application Program will show “No disks or RAID!”
NOTE:
At least one disk drive must be inserted in the RAID subsystem. If there
is no disk drive in the RAID subsystem, the Application Program will show “No
disks or RAID!”
IMPORTANT:
When hard disks are inserted in the disk slots, the first inserted hard
disk is assigned “Port 0”. Port 0 is the (in-band) channel that will be used by Sans
Digital RAID Monitoring Software to manage the RAID controller. Other hard disks will
be assigned Port1, Port 2, etc. If the first hard disk assigned as Port 0 is removed, the
Sans Digital RAID Monitoring Software cannot access and manage the RAID controller.
When a RAID Set is already created, the first hard disk that was inserted and assigned
Port 0 (whether or not it is part of the RAID Set) can then be removed and the Sans
Digital RAID Monitoring Software can still manage the RAID controller.
