Viewing Array Properties
To view the properties of an existing array:
1 From the ACU main menu, select Manage Arrays.
2 From the List of Arrays dialog box, select the array you want to
view, then press Enter.
To view properties related to the array’s physical disks:
– RAID 0, 1, 5 (Single-Level Arrays)—View the Array
Properties dialog box.
– RAID 10, 50 (Dual-Level Arrays)—Highlight the array
member you want to view, then press Enter to display the
second level. Press Enter again to display the physical disks
associated with the array.
Note: Failed drives are displayed in a different text color.
3 Press Esc to return to the previous menu.
Making an Array Bootable
Notes:
■
If the controller is not a boot device, you can disable its
runtime BIOS. (For details, see the table on page A-10.) When
the BIOS is disabled, it does not occupy any of the expansion
ROM region of the system’s memory map. In a system with
several expansion ROMs, disabling the BIOS may be helpful.
■
The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its
bootable array. If you delete Array 00, the next lowest
numbered array becomes the bootable array.
■ You cannot make a non-00 array bootable while the array
is in a build/verify or rebuild process.
■ You may need to change the system BIOS to modify the
boot order. For more information, refer to the system
documentation.
