How Do I Configure a Mylex Controller for the First Time?
1-4 RAID EzAssist User’s Manual
❑ Get Started.
RAID EzAssist always starts by scanning for Mylex controllers and target
drives (Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1. RAID EzAssist Scans for Controllers and Drives
☞ Allow scanning to complete.
Since this is a first-time configuration, you’ll see a Notice (Figure 1-2).
Figure 1-2. No Existing RAID Configuration
“Would you like to configure a RAID drive now?”
The answer depends on whether you want to change any of the default
parameters and settings for this Mylex RAID Controller. If you are a new or
inexperienced user, the default settings will probably suit your needs just
fine, so you’ll answer Yes.
If you are an advanced user, now’s the time to change any controller
parameters that you wish-- before a RAID configuration is set on the
controller, so you’ll answer No.
☞ If you want to adjust controller parameters, use the arrow key
to select No, then press Enter.
Please see Chapter 3 for information on changing Global, SCSI, and Startup
parameters. Return here when you’re done to continue first-time RAID
configuration.
