Selecting The Full Menu Option - Compaq N2400 - TaskSmart - 1 GB RAM Administration Manual

Selecting the Full Menu Option

If the Full menu option is selected, a warning message that all data is about to
be deleted is displayed. The restore process does not continue until
confirmation that user wishes to erase the entire system is indicated by
selecting yes or no.
After system configuration has completed, the user is presented with the
following menu to restore and configure the external data drives:
Manual—QuickRestore does not attempt to configure the external
storage. External storage is left unconfigured. Refer to the "Storage
Management" section in Chapter 4, "Integrating UNIX into Windows
NT."
Automatic—QuickRestore automatically configures the drives based on
the factory carving in Table C-6. Note the number of drives included in
the external storage cabinet determines the number of arrays to be
carved. Storage configuration also includes the creation of pools and
virtual disks that are associated with the Compaq Virtual Replicator
software on the TaskSmart N2400 appliance.
The data drives are segregated into groups of disks no larger than 14 and no
smaller than 4. Each of these groups of disks are treated as RAID 5 arrays.
Number of Storage
Enclosures
For each created RAID set, a single logical drive, pool, and virtual disk are
created.
NOTE: The TaskSmart N2400 appliance supports spare drives (or set of spare drives) for
the collective storage subsystem. QuickRestore does not have the ability to interactively
determine the use of spares.
