StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Controller Installation and Standalone Configuration Utility
6–2 EK–SWRA2–IG. C01
6.1.1 Turning-On and -Off Your System and Storage Enclosures
The order in which you turn-on and -off your system and storage enclosures
effects the operation of your RAID Array 200 Series Subsystem. If the RAID
controller can not access the drives in your storage enclosures, it marks the
drives as failed. Therefore, to avoid the controller trying to access the drives with
the storage enclosure turned off, power-on and off your system and storage
enclosures in the following order:
Power-on
1. Storage enclosures first
2. System second
Power-off
1. System first
2. Storage enclosures second
6.1.2 Invoking the Standalone Configuration Utility
The procedure for invoking the standalone configuration utility varies based on
your type of system. See the following system-specific instructions for Intel and
AXP systems.
6.1.2.1 Invoking the Standalone Utility on Intel Systems
To invoke the standalone utility on an Intel (486 and up) system, follow these
steps:
1. Insert the RAID Array 200 Standalone Configuration Utility for Intel
Systems diskette in your floppy drive.
2. Start or reboot your computer, leaving the diskette in the floppy drive. Your
computer boots from the RAID Array 200 Standalone Configuration Utility
V3.0 for Intel Systems diskette rather than your hard disk.
3. Type: A:\SWXCR> swxcrmgr
The utility checks the drives, and then displays the main menu as shown in
Figure 6–1.
