Configuring A Raid Array; Using The Lsi Logic Configuration Utility - Lenovo Flex System x440 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

where zzzzzzz is the 7-character serial number of the compute node.
Step 3. Enter the following command:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa --host ipaddress
where aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the 33-character asset tag number of the compute
node.
Step 4. Restart the IMM.
Step 5. Restart the server.

Configuring a RAID array

Use this information to configure a RAID array.
Configuring a RAID array applies only to a compute node in which two or more hard disk drives are installed.
Note: When you configure a RAID array, the hard disk drives must use the same type of interface. For
example, a RAID array can be configured with two SAS hard disk drives or two SATA hard disk drives.
You can use two hard disk drives in the compute node to implement and manage RAID level-0 (striping) or
RAID level-1 (mirror) arrays in operating systems that are listed on the ServerProven list at
www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/
Configuration Utility program.
If an optional RAID expansion adapter is installed, you can use it to control all of the hard disk drives that are
installed in the compute node. See the documentation that comes with the expansion adapter for information
about how to configure the RAID array.
Important: You must create the RAID array before you install the operating system on the compute node.
You can use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure the hard disk drives and the SAS
controller. To start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility, see
38.

Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility

Use these instructions to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility.
You can use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility to perform the following tasks:
• Set the device boot order
• Add or remove devices from the boot list
• Manage the RAID configuration
Note: The hard disk drive in the RAID configuration must use the same type of interface and must have
identical capacity and speed.
To start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the console breakout cable and connect the console
breakout cable to the compute node.
Step 2. Turn on the compute node (see
Lenovo Flex System x440 Compute NodeInstallation and Service Guide
38
. For the compute node, you must configure the RAID by using the LSI
"Turning on the compute node" on page
"Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility" on page
16).
