5.4.2 Creating RAID Arrays
(*Please note that this is only a brief instruction to show the user how to
build RAID 1 in the LSI Logic Utility. For detailed information, please refer
to LSI Logic's Documentation.)
Creating RAID 1 Array:
1) Choose "
EFI Shell [Built-in]
" in EFI Boot Manager
2) Find out the ID number of the onboard controller's driver and record
the number of [drv]. (*This step is absolutely needed if you have one or
more LSI Logic controllers in the same system.)
Shell> drvcfg
3) Go to the LSI Logic Utility
Shell> drvcfg -s xx
(*Note: xx=[drv] number)
4) Once you're inside the LSI Logic MPT SCSI Setup Utility, highlight the
channel in which the drives are connected to, and which you want to
build RAID-1 in and hit the <Enter> Key. Make sure that the LSI controller
is enabled in both channels.
00: channel A (A high density connector located on the back of the
board)
01: channel B (the on-board LVD connector)
5) You will see a list of items that are available. (Items in lighter color
are the ones that can be accessed by the user.)
(*Notes:
The item-Device Properties displays the status of drives speed, controller
and SAF-TE if present.
The item-RAID Properties shows the location where you should enter to
build RAID.)
6)
Highlight "RAID Properties" and hit the <Enter> key
.
7) Under the "Array disk?" column,
change "No" to "Yes" by using "+" or
"-" key followed by <Enter>
to select the drives to be configured for
RAID-1. (*Remember you have to do this step twice to configure both
drives)
8) Once you've configured RAID 1, make sure to save the configuration
and then, exit. Now you can reset the system and start the OS installa-
tion .
