CAUTION Do not initialize the existing logical drives on Channel 1! If

data.

Chapter 6 of this guide.
17. 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 B: Your NOS is Installed on a Non-RAID Hard Disk Module

To configure a second HP NetRAID channel when your NOS is installed on a
non-RAID hard disk module:
1. Back up all your drives, both RAID and non-RAID. You must perform
this step, because later on you will restore your RAID data.
CAUTION
Do not proceed until you back up all your drives, both RAID
and non-RAID.
2. Make two photocopies of Worksheets A and B, found in Appendix B of
this guide.
3. Use the first copy of Worksheets A and B to write down your existing
configuration. This is an essential step, because later you will need to
recreate your existing configuration. The information you write down on
Worksheets A and B is extremely important.
4. Use the second copy of Worksheets A and B to plan the configuration of
your second channel. For more information on planning a new
configuration, see Chapter 4 of this guide.
If you adding SCSI B to HP NetRAID, be sure to note that all non-hot-
swap devices on SCSI B will become part of your HP NetRAID channel.
For performance reasons, non-hot-swap devices and hot-swap drives
should not be combined in the same array.
5. Log off all users, close all applications, and shut down the HP NetServer.
6. Boot the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM and follow the instructions in
"Step E" in Chapter 5 to launch HP NetRAID Assistant.
