To determine server cabling needs for specific applications:
3. Determine whether cabling needs are for primary storage (hard drive) or for
secondary storage (tape drive or CD-ROM drive).
4. Identify the controller type.
5. Identify the drive type to be used:
— Ultra2, or Ultra3 SCSI hard drive
— CD-ROM storage drive
— DAT or DLT tape drive
— Universal Hot-Plug Tape Drive
After you finish cabling external storage options, use the SmartStart CD to run the
following applications:
• RBSU—enables you to configure new hardware in the system.
• Array configuration utilities—enable you to configure and manage drive arrays
for SCSI hard drives.
IMPORTANT: Use configuration utilities after installing any non-hot-plug option in the
server.
External SCSI Hard Drives
Follow these general guidelines when adding external SCSI hard drives:
• A maximum of 14 SCSI devices per port can be supported externally (only six
internally).
• Each SCSI drive must have a unique ID.
CAUTION: All data on the hard drive can be lost when you migrate from a non-array
controller. Back up all data before migrating drives to an intelligent array
configuration.
