Preparation Steps For Netware 4.2 - HP P3410A - NetRAID 1M RAID Controller Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 7
for NetWare 4.2
Preparation Steps
This section makes the following assumptions:
You have already configured your HP NetRAID system as discussed in
Chapter 5, "Installation and Configuration." You should have created only
one logical drive per array.
You have initialized your logical drives.
NOTE It is important to initialize your logical drives. If the drives
have been previously configured under an operating system,
there can sometimes be residual partition/format information
which subsequently causes misrepresentation of logical drives
under the NetWare 4.2 Install module.
You already installed NetWare 4.2 as discussed in Chapter 6,
"HP NetRAID Software."
The following steps are necessary to prepare your logical drive for online
capacity expansion:
I. Enable virtual sizing in HP NetRAID Express Tools
II. Create the NetWare partition in NetWare 4.2
III. Create the NetWare volume in NetWare 4.2
I. Enable Virtual Sizing
1. Restart the host HP Netserver, and watch for the message:
Option: Experienced users may press <Ctrl> <M> for
HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
Firmware Initializing
2. When the message is displayed, press <Ctrl> <M>. When the system
stops scanning, HP NetRAID Express Tools starts and displays the Tools
Management menu.
3. If there is more than one HP NetRAID-1M or 2M adapter (including any
integrated HP NetRAID controller), do the following to select the
integrated controller or adapter controlling a logical drive you want to
prepare for expansion:
a. Choose Adapter from the Tools Management menu.
b. Choose the adapter controlling the logical drive.
