This number should not include spares (drives that automatically replace failed array drives). The number of drives available for assignment is listed on the screen. Note: This step does not apply to RAID 1 arrays, which have two drives by definition. 7 Select array members.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide 8 Select spares. If you do not want a spare, type n and continue with Step 10. If you want to select dedicated spares, follow these steps: a At the prompt, type y. b At the next prompt, type 1 or 2. c Select one or two spares, using the same method you used to select disks for the array. 9 Initialize array. When the Initialize Mode menu appears, select Initialize Array to Zero. Formatting begins immediately.
Creating the First Array With the ArrayConfigSA Utility Making the Array Bootable You can make the array bootable so that the server boots from the array instead of from a stand-alone (single) disk. To make the array bootable, the array must be set to #0 in the boot order. We recommend that you make your initial array bootable.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide Note: You cannot use this procedure to change the boot order of a SCSI disk drive that is not part of an array. If you want to do this, create a one-disk RAID 0 array from the disk. (Data is not actually striped on a one-disk array.

▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ D Using a CD-ROM Drive Should you need to install a CD-ROM, the Array1000xA Family Manager Set drivers diskette included with the ARO-1130SA contains the DOS and NetWare driver software you need in order to use a CD-ROM controlled by the ARO-1130SA. This appendix explains how to set up your CD-ROM drive so that you can initially install your software. Using a CD-ROM Drive with DOS To operate a CD-ROM drive supported by the ARO-1130SA under DOS, you need ■ The SCSI driver, aspi8dos.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide To complete the driver installation, edit the config.sys file to include command lines for aspi8dos.sys and aspicd.sys, and edit the autoexec.bat file to include a command line for mscdex.exe. The following examples illustrate the command line format and the command options appropriate for most systems. ■ Sample command lines for config.sys file: device=c:\scsi\aspi8dos.sys /d device=c:\scsi\aspicd.sys /d:aspicd0 ■ Sample command line for autoexec.
Using a CD-ROM Drive Command Line Options for aspi8dos.sys Option Example Use /ccbs /ccbs8 Specifies the maximum number of concurrent ASPI commands that can be supported. The valid range is 1 through 16. The default is 4. If you increase this value, the size of the ASPI manager also increases. Use this option only if you want to run an ASPI program that specifies a higher number of concurrent commands.
ARO-1130SA Installation and Hardware Guide Command Line Options for aspicd.sys Option Example Use /d: /d:aspicd0 Required in the config.sys command line. Assigns a name to the CD-ROM drive so that mscdex can assign the CD-ROM a logical drive letter. The name must exactly match the CD-ROM drive name in the mscdex command line in autoexec.bat. Use any eight-character name. /id={…} /id=2+4 /id=3+5+1:4 Specifies CD-ROM drives controlled by aspicd. By default, aspicd controls all drives.
Using a CD-ROM Drive Using a CD-ROM Drive with NetWare To operate a CD-ROM drive connected to the ARO-1130SA under NetWare, you need the aspicd.dsk driver. The driver must be copied from the \dos directory on the Array1000xA Family Manager Set driver diskette to a directory on your hard disk drive.
