Troubleshooting
2. Highlight the array which you want to boot from using the [

Down keys.
3. Press the [Space] bar key.
4. An * asterisk will appear next to the array number indicating it as
bootable. The system will now recognize this array as the first array
seen
5. The system will then use this bootable array as the (fixed) boot C: drive.
NOTE: The bootable array must contain your configured operating
system.
Creating a “Hot” Spare Drive for Mirrored Arrays
For automatic rebuilds of a mirrored array, attach an extra “spare” drive
to the FastTrak100. Drives that are not assigned to an array and are
the same size or larger than the original will be used for the automatic
rebuild. This is performed in the background under all supported
operating systems, except DOS. At a later time, the system can be
turned off and the failed drive can be physically removed.
How FastTrak100 Orders Arrays
During startup, the disk arrays on the FastTrak100 are recognized in
this order: 1) The array set to bootable in the FastBuild
TM Setup, and 2)
the Array number (i.e. Array 0, Array 1…). This would be involved in
determining which drive letters will be assigned to each disk array.
How FastTrak100 Saves Array Information
All disk array data is saved into the reserved sector on each array
member. Promise suggests that users record their disk array informa-
tion for future reference.
Another feature of the FastTrak100 disk array system is to recognize drive
members even if drives are moved between different FastTrak100 card
connectors. Since each drive’s array data identifies itself to the array, it is
possible to move or swap drives without modifying the array setup. This is
valuable when adding drives, or during a rebuild.
Deleting An Array
The Delete Array <4> Menu option allows for deletion of disk array
assignments. This is not the same as deleting data from the drives
themselves. If you delete an array by accident (and before it has been
used again), the array can normally be recovered by defining the array
