11. Save your configuration and initialize your new logical drives on
Channel 1 as described in "Step G" in Chapter 5 of this guide. Exit HP
NetRAID Assistant.
CAUTION Do not initialize the existing logical drives on Channel 0! If
you initialize your existing drives, you will lose all of your
data.
12. Set your SCSI Transfer Rate if necessary, as described in "Step L" in
Chapter 6 of this guide.
13. Prepare your new logical drives for online capacity expansion if desired,
as described in Chapter 7 of this guide.
Your configuration for a two-channel HP NetRAID system is now complete.
Option A-2: To Enable SCSI A as Your Second HP NetRAID Channel
To configure SCSI A as a second HP NetRAID channel when your NOS is
installed on a RAID logical drive:
1. Back up all your drives, both RAID and non-RAID. You should not need
to restore your data, but backups are essential any time you change your
configuration.
CAUTION
Do not proceed until you back up all your drives, both RAID
and non-RAID.
2. Log off all users, close all applications, and shut down the HP NetServer.
3. Plan the configuration of your second channel as described in Chapter 4 of
this guide.
4. Verify that your hardware is set up correctly for your second channel. The
second channel may use hot-swap disk drive modules in a second hot-
swap mass storage cage or in an external mass storage enclosure.
5. Remove all hot-swap drives connected to the non-RAID channel
(SCSI A). You must perform this step to ensure that the drive roaming
feature works correctly.
CAUTION Do not proceed until you have removed all hot-swap drives
connected to SCSI A.
