b. Select the physical drive that you want to designate as the hot-spare drive,
and click the (Add selected drives) icon.
7. Click Next.
8. Review the information in the “Configuration summary” window. To change the
configuration, click Back.
9. Click Apply; when you are asked whether you want to apply the new
configuration, click Yes. The configuration is saved in the controller and in the
physical drives.
10. Exit from ServeRAID Manager and remove the CD from the CD-RW/DVD
drive.
11. Restart the server.
Viewing the configuration: You can use ServeRAID Manager to view information
about RAID controllers and the RAID subsystem (such as arrays, logical drives,
hot-spare drives, and physical drives). When you click an object in the ServeRAID
Manager tree, information about that object appears in the right pane. To display a
list of available actions for an object, click the object and click Actions.
Configuring simple-swap SATA RAID
Important: HostRAID is not supported on the SCO 6.0 and UnixWare 7.14
operating systems.
Use the Adaptec HostRAID Configuration Utility program to add RAID level-0 and
level-1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA controller (simple-swap SATA
models). Be sure to use this program as described in this document. Use this
program to perform the following tasks:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array
v View or change the RAID configuration and associated devices
When you are using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility program to configure
and manage simple-swap SATA arrays, consider the following information:
v The integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated SATA RAID (simple-swap
SATA models) supports RAID level-0 and level-1 with the option of having a
hot-spare drive.
v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the
integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated RAID.
v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can
have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have
the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
v To help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data
rates.
Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility program
Use the Array Configuration Utility to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to
the integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller. This utility is a part of the BIOS code.
For additional information about using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
program, see the documentation on the Adaptec HostRAID Support CD. If this CD
did not come with the server, you can download it from http://www.ibm.com/
support/.
