When initialization is complete, exit from Adaptec CI/O
Management Software and reboot the system. After you
reboot, you must partition the new array just as you would
partition a new stand-alone disk drive.
Note:
You cannot use the new array until you reboot.
Making an Array the First Virtual Device
Follow the steps below if you want the system to boot your
operating system from an array instead of from a stand-alone disk.
(To use a stand-alone SCSI disk as your boot device, we recommend
that you assign SCSI ID 0 to this device and that you connect it to
Channel A of the array controller.)
You make an array bootable by assigning it virtual device order #0.
The virtual device order is the sequence in which the system's
operating system detects the arrays, single disks, and other devices
connected to the array controller when the system boots. You may
also need to move the array controller to a different PCI slot. See
your array controller's Hardware and Installation Guide for more
information.
Caution:
When you make an array bootable, the drive letters

assigned to other drives and arrays on the system may
change, which can cause data access problems on your
system.
Follow these steps to create a bootable array:
