Using Smor - Adaptec Workstation x1000 Installation Manual

using SMOR

You need to run SMOR in systems where you need to configure
the controller and set up disk arrays before the operating system
has been installed. Run SMOR as directed in the installation
procedures in this Installation Guide to:
Check the cache memory module after installing the
controller (refer to
Configure the controller as a boot controller after installing
the controller (refer to
page 2-10).
Create disk arrays during driver installation (see
Chapter 3).
After your system is set up, you can use all of the advanced
features of Storage Manager Pro or Storage Manager to modify
and improve the RAID. Complete SMOR documentation is
provided in the Adaptec Storage Management Software User's
Guide.
