From here, you would select the disk that you want the server to boot to by choosing it to be the Primary Disk. (NOTE: since we cleared the previous RAID configurations, only one disk appears as an option. However, if you had multiple RAID disks managed by the Controller, they would all show here).

Lenovo offers a suite of management tools to simplify the configuration and management of the RAID controllers for ThinkSystem, ThinkServer, and System x servers. These tools enable Lenovo RAID controllers to be managed through a user interface or command line interface in the pre-boot environment, during the deployment of an operating system, and after the operating system is deployed.

* The number of drives depends on the RAID controller capabilities and supported internal drive bay configurations (including SAS expanders in drive backplanes) or external storage expansion configurations for the server in which the RAID controller is installed.

^ The number of drives depends on the RAID controller capabilities and supported internal drive bay configurations or external storage expansion configurations for the server in which the RAID controller is installed.

* Up to 6 drives can be configured in a RAID array, and the remaining two drives operate in JBOD mode.

** Includes SAS Expander.

*** JBOD mode is supported only with the non-backed cache.

**** A cache upgrade is required for the 720ix AnyRAID adapter operations, and it must be purchased together with the controller.

NOTE: To back up the disk-array configuration to diskette, you will need a 3.5-inch formatted diskette.

 

 To back up the disk-array configuration:

 a. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu.

 b. Select Backup config. to diskette.

 

 Follow the instructions on the screen. A pop-up window shows the default file name of CONFIG. You can change the file name by typing over the default. The Backup program will assign a file-name extension of .ips.

Defining a Hot-Spare Drive:

 You can define a hot-spare drive from the Create/Delete Array/Log. Drive menu or the Rebuild/Device Management menu (see 'Defining the State of a Drive').

 

 To define a drive as a hot-spare drive from the Create/Delete Array/Log. Drive menu:

 1. Start the server using the ServeRAID configuration program.

 2. Select Create/Delete Array/Log. Drive from the Main Menu. The following screen appears.

 

 

 

 3. Select Define/Undefine Hot-spare Drive. The cursor will become active in the Bay/Array selection list.

 4. Use the Up Arrow key or the Down Arrow key to highlight the RDY (Ready) drive you want to define as the hot spare; then press Enter. The RDY changes to HSP (Hot Spare). You can press Enter again to toggle between HSP and RDY.

 5. Press Esc when you have finished. The cursor will become active in the Create/Delete Array/Log. Drive

 6. If you want to create a disk array, see Creating a Disk Array.

 7. If you are finished:

a. Select Exit or press Esc. A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm your change.

 NOTE: The changes you make are not saved until you confirm them by selecting Yes in the Confirm pop-up window.

 

 b. Select No if you do not want the drive you selected to be a hot spare; select Yes to define it as a hot-spare drive.

 c. Back up the disk-array configuration information to diskette. See 'Backing Up The Disk-Array Configuration' for instructions.

1. Back up all data and programs in the array.

 2. If needed, install additional hard disk drives.

 3. Start the ServeRAID configuration program.

 4. Delete the existing array:

 a. Select Create/Delete Array/Log Drive from the Main Menu.

 b. Select Delete Disk Array. The cursor will be active in the Bay/Array selection list.

 NOTE: In all cases, when you delete an array, all the data and programs in the array are lost.

 

 c. Select the array that you want to delete.

 d. Press Del. The Confirm pop-up window appears.

 e. If you do not want to delete the array, select No. To delete the array, select Yes



 If you want to define a hot spare drive, see 'Defining the State of a Drive' for step-by-step instructions. Create a new disk array and define logical drives. See 'Creating a Disk Array? for instructions on creating a disk array and defining logical drives.

 5. After you have established the new array and logical drive or drives, select Initialize/Synchronize Log Drive from the Main Menu; then select Initialize Logical Drive to prepare the drives in the array to receive data. This sets the drive to a predetermined state. Any data existing in the drive is overwritten with zeros.

 6. If you defined the drive as RAID level 5, select Initialize/Synchronize Log Drive from the Main Menu; then, select Synchronize Logical Drive before storing data. Once synchronization starts, it cannot be interrupted until the operation is complete.

 7. Insert a 3.5-inch formatted diskette in the primary diskette drive, select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu; then select Backup config. to diskette. Follow the instructions on the screen.

 8. Exit the ServeRAID configuration program by pressing Esc or selecting Exit from the Main Menu. A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm your action.

 9. Reinstall the operating system and device drivers, then restore the data and programs.

8. Go to 'Rebuilding a Logical Drive'.

 

 Rebuilding a Logical Drive:

 Review the following information before you rebuild a logical drive.

 If the logical drive is critical, you must rebuild the defunct drive. Data in a logical drive assigned RAID level 0 is lost during a rebuild. If the drive was backed up before it failed, you can restore the data to this drive. If a physical drive being rebuilt contains logical drives defined as RAID level 1 or 5 and a logical drive at RAID level 0, the RAID level 0 drive is blocked to external access during the rebuild.

 - If you initiated the rebuild through the Administration and Monitoring program, you must unblock the RAID level 0 drive when the rebuild is complete.

 - If you initiated the rebuild through the ServeRAID configuration program and the rebuild was interrupted, drives with RAID Level 0 can be automatically unblocked when you restart the server.

 Only one rebuild operation can take place at a time. The drive being rebuilt must be the same size or larger than the failed drive.

 If multiple hot-spare drives are available, the adapter searches all bays on each channel for a hot-spare drive of the appropriate size; the first one found enters the Rebuild state.

 

 Under the following circumstances, a Rebuild operation can be completed quickly:

If you are using one of the Administration and Monitoring programs provided with the disk-array model, you can use it to identify the defunct drive and designate a drive to replace the defunct drive without restarting the server. Refer to the README file on the Administration and Monitoring program for instructions on the operating system.

 

 To replace a faulty drive using the ServeRAID configuration program:

 1. Start the ServeRAID configuration program. When the Following drives not responding prompt appears, press F5 to continue loading the ServeRAID configuration program.

 2. Select Rebuild/Device Management from the Main Menu.

 3. Select Rebuild Drive from the Rebuild/Device Management menu. The cursor becomes active in the Bay/Array list.

 4. Select the replacement drive that you want to use for the rebuild operation. A pop-up window appears.

 Select Same Location if you physically replaced a hard disk drive in the same bay.

 Select New Location to assign a hard disk drive in a new location. You will be prompted to select the drive that you want.

 Information and status messages about each stage of the rebuilding process appears on the screen.

 5. When the rebuilding process is completed, press Esc to return to the Main Menu. The new configuration will be saved automatically.

 6. Backup the new configuration (see 'Backing Up The Disk-Array Configuration').

 7. Select Exit to end the ServeRAID configuration program.

 8. Remove the diskette and press Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to restart the system.

copy the P410i firmware update to the server and update the RAID card. Allow the server to reboot and tap the spacebar when the Show Options message comes up on the screen. When the screen is in character mode printing out the boot notifications press F8 to get into the array utility. Delete all logical drives and recreate the array how you like.

The storage array ships with a rack mount chassis and rails for mounting in a high-density server rack. Install the rails in a rack that meets the specifications of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494.

A RAID controller may be hardware- or software-based. In a hardware-based RAID product, a physical controller manages the entire array. The controller can also be designed to support drive formats such as Serial Advanced Technology Attachment and Small Computer System Interface. A physical RAID controller can also be built into a server's motherboard. 2351a5e196
