Starting the
Array Configuration Utility
You can access and start the Array Configuration Utility in two ways: from the
SmartStart and Support Software CD or from online.
SmartStart and Support Software CD
You can run the Array Configuration Utility directly from the SmartStart and
Support Software CD.
1. Insert the SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD drive and
power up the server. A menu is displayed.
2. Select the Array Configuration Utility.
3. After completing the configuration, remove the CD and restart the server.
Accessing Online
If the server you are configuring is running Microsoft Windows NT or Novell
NetWare, you can install and run the Array Configuration Utility online.
Windows NT
When you install the Windows NT Software Support Diskette (SSD), it
prompts you to insert the Array Configuration Utility diskettes to install the
utility. A program icon is created automatically. Select the icon to run the
Array Configuration Utility. The Windows NT online Array Configuration
Utility requires that at least one logical drive be previously configured while
offline.
NetWare
The Compaq Array Configuration Utility for NetWare (CPQONLIN.NLM) is
available on the NetWare Programs from Compaq (NPFC) diskettes in the
\DRV_ARRY directory. Generate the NPFC diskettes using the Diskette
Builder feature in SmartStart. The NPFC diskettes have an ARRAY.RDM
readme file to access instructions on loading and using CPQONLIN.NLM.
