Drive Fault Tolerance
Disk drive fault tolerance in Compaq servers is addressed in detail within the
Compaq Server Online Reference Guide on the Documentation CD.
Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers are configured with the Integrated Smart
Array Controller and support several Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks
(RAID) types including:
■ RAID 0—data striping
■ RAID 1—mirroring
■ RAID 0+1—data striping and mirroring
■ RAID 5—distributed data guarding
IMPORTANT: The Integrated Smart Array Controller supports management of internal
SCSI hard drives and external tape drives only.
Refer to the Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller User Guide on your
Documentation CD for additional information.

If you experience a critical system failure, Automatic Server Recovery-2

the Documentation CD or to the Compaq Integrated Remote Console (IRC)
User Guide.
