StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Controller Installation and Standalone Configuration Utility
9–2 EK–SWRA2–IG. C01
NOTE
Omit the next step if you have a PCI controller, or
an EISA controller with firmware later than V1.99.
• For EISA controllers with V1.99 firmware, go to Section 9.4.2 and set the
controller parameters before upgrading your firmware, then continue with
Section 9.2.
9.1.1 Spanning
The new version of the utilities does not support the creation of spanned logical
drives. However, the controller can still use existing spanned logical drives.
9.1.2 Striping
When setting parameters using the RAID Array 200 Standalone Configuration
Utility, don’t change stripe size from the existing setting. Changing this value
will cause data loss on your logical RAID drives.
9.2 Updating Firmware
The procedure for updating firmware varies for Intel-based and AXP-based
systems. See Section 9.2.1 to update the firmware for an Intel-based system, or
Section 9.2.2 to update the firmware for an AXP-based system.
On systems with both EISA and PCI controllers, perform updates on EISA
controllers first, then PCI controllers.
