StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Controller Installation and Standalone Configuration Utility
6–12 EK–SWRA2–IG. C01
When you set the Spin up option to automatic, you can specify how many
devices you want the controller to spin up at a time in the Number of devices
per spin field. You can also specify in the Delay field, for what interval the
controller waits before spinning up the next number of devices. (The
controller spins up 2 devices per spin at six seconds apart by default.)
To set the Number of devices per spin, or the number of seconds of Delay,
use the arrow keys to highlight the options, then type a number. You can not
change these parameters if you set the Spin up option to On power.
When you finish setting the Startup Parameters, you have completed setting the
controller parameters. Press Esc to return to the Edit/View Parameters menu.
Press the Esc key again to return to the main menu.
Now set the fault management and battery backup options
6.3.2 Setting Fault Management and Battery Backup Options
Before configuring the array for the first time, verify, and enable or disable the
StorageWorks Fault Management and Battery Backup options as follows:
• StorageWorks Fault Management
If your RAID controller is connected to a StorageWorks enclosure, it
supports Fault Management; enable this option. (Fault management
enabled will allow you to perform a hot swap in the event of a disk
failure.)
If your RAID controller is connected to non-StorageWorks storage
enclosures or directly cabled to disk drives, disable this option.
• Battery Backup
Verify with your sales representative whether your RAID controller
supports battery backup. If your controller supports battery backup (and
you purchased the option), you will need to enable the Battery Backup
option. The Battery Backup option is disabled by default. If your
controller doesn't support battery backup, verify that the Battery Backup
option is disabled.
To set the StorageWorks Fault Management and Battery Backup options, follow
these steps:
1. Select the Controller Setup option from the main menu. The utility displays
an Edit/View Parameter menu, as shown in Figure 6–9.
