ezRAID3 Manager GUI Version 1.0
Verify HBA BIOS recognizes the empty SteelVine Storage Reference
Design enclosure.
Before editing SteelVine virtual volumes in the Configuration Wizard,
use the operating system’s Disk Manager to delete partitions on the
volume.
Ensure that the SATA HBA driver is current. The SV-HBA3124 and
SV-HBA3132 host drivers are available at www.steelvine.com
.
Troubleshoot driver:
x Verify driver active status. For Windows, the Device Manager
should show the SCSI
icon next to the HBA. For Mac OS X, the
Disk Utility should show a SCSI Connection ID for the virtual disks
on the physical hard drives. Error messages during the driver
installation would have indicated issues.
x Resolve resource conflicts (IRQ, DMA, or I/O).
Identify maximum SATA disk drive capacity supported by the
operating system and ensure the volume size meets the limits.
Operating system does not
recognize SteelVine virtual
volumes.
Verify Port Multiplier (PM) support in the HBA.
Review SteelVine Manager Software Release Notes available at www.steelvine.com for additional
troubleshooting information.
