TABLE C-8 Device Properties (Continued) Option Description SCSI Timeout Indicates the maximum amount of time [0 to 9999] in seconds to wait for a SCSI operation to complete. Since timeouts provide a safeguard that allows the system to recover if an operation fails, it is recommended to use a value greater than zero. A value of zero allows unlimited time for an operation to complete and could result in the system hanging (waiting forever) if an operation fails.
C.2.7 RAID Properties The RAID Properties screen initially displays listing all possible SCSI IDs on the Adapter SCSI Channel. This allows the user to select disks on this channel to be members of a mirrored array. Mirroring provides protection against data loss by storing two copies of the data on separate disks. Following are the options on the RAID Properties screen.
TABLE C-9 RAID Properties (Continued) Option Description Putting existing Data into a RAID array. To mirror a disk containing existing data, select the disk with data to be retained first and it will become the primary copy of an integrated-mirrored array. When the first disk is selected, the BIOS configuration utility prompts you to either Keep Data or Erase Disk. Press F3 to keep data. Only IM arrays can be created to keep previous data.
After an array has been created you can perform the following: TABLE C-10 C.3 Post-Array Creation Commands Deletes the array currently displayed in the RAID Properties screen. Allows adding a hot spare to an existing volume as long as no hot spares are defined. Also allows deleting a hot spare and leaving the array otherwise operational. Enabled for illegal configuration situations in which there is more than one array on this physical adapter.
APPENDIX D Supplemental Information This appendix contains information that supplements the procedures in this guide. D.
D.1.1 LSI Logic’s Integrated RAID Solution LSI Logic offers an integrated RAID solution by simplifying the IM configuration options and by providing firmware support in its host adapters. The software continuously monitors IM volumes and reports status and error conditions as they occur. Integrated RAID provides the following benefits: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A low-cost solution. Easy to use, install and configure. The system can boot from an IM or IS volume. No special operating-system-specific software is required.
The mirroring is accomplished through the firmware of an LSI Logic controller that supports the standard Fusion-MPT interface. The runtime mirroring of the boot disk is transparent to the BIOS, drivers and OS. Host-based status software monitors the state of the mirrored disks and reports any error conditions. The system is configured with a second disk as a mirror of the first primary disk.
