before you confirm.

Exit Configuration Utilityx
The XR configuration utility will exit without configuring your storage if any of the following parameters
are detected:
■ An incorrect number of disks. The total number of disks must be a multiple of 12.
■ Each enclosure must have the correct firmware.
■ In a dual RAID enclosure environment, there must be an equal number of expansion chassis on each
RAID enclosure. The script would have to be run with a single RAID enclosure connected at a time.
If the XR configuration utility encounters any of these parameters, it will exit.
Rescanning New LUNs from the Host Operating System
Newly-created LUNs must be rescanned by the host operating system to associate the proper disk devices
with each LUN.
To rescan LUNs:
1 Reboot the system.
2 To verify the new LUNs were detected, examine the content of the file /proc/scsi/scsi.
3 You can also see the current configuration by using the following command:
./XR_config.pl -status
Accessing the RAID Controllers
If your RAID controller is already connected and configured on your local network, you can launch the
Stone Storage Manager RAID management utility by pointing a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox
®
,
etc.) to http://<ip adress>:9292.
