- B5 -
NOTE: powering off before a proper shutdown is complete may result in the loss of
unwritten data in cache, possibly causing problems in a subsequent boot or access to
the data that was unwritten.
Q:
Why can’t I see the drives on the SuperTrak SX6000 under FDISK?
A:
If you have not created an array, the physical drive(s) attached to the
SuperTrak SX6000 card will not be recognized by the operating system.
The SuperTrak SX6000 controller is dedicated to RAID array management
and does not provide any means of addressing individual hard drives
through the int 13h interface used by FDISK. In order to access drives on
the SuperTrak SX6000 from MSDOS at all, you must first create a RAID
array.
Q:
Why can’t I see the array I just created with PAM under the Windows NT Disk
Administrator?
A:
Since Windows NT does not yet support any method of dynamically adding
and/or removing logical devices to/from the system, you must restart
Windows NT. The next boot will show the new array under Disk
Administrator.
