Cluster Channels

The cluster channels menu (see Figure 42) is selectable only with Intel RAID Controllers that are
equipped with cluster firmware and allows the user to enable the IO channels of the Intel RAID
Controller SRCMR for clustering. Special care must be taken, that the IO Processors of a shared
channel (SCSI or Fibre Channel) have different IDs, otherwise there will be conflicts.

Clear Log Buffer

The Intel RAID Controller SRCMR records certain events in a logging buffer which is part of the
Flash-RAM. Clear all events in the buffer when using the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR in a new
system. The Clear Log Buffer function detects and deletes entries from the log buffer.
