enable HP NetRAID for SCSI B, you must connect the device to a SCSI
controller accessory board.
HP NetRAID Channels
The integrated HP NetRAID controller refers to channels as 0 and 1. If only one
HP NetRAID channel is enabled, it becomes Channel 0. If both HP NetRAID
channels are enabled, then SCSI A is Channel 0 and SCSI B is Channel 1.
NOTE

Record the SCSI ID number and physical capacity of each hot-swap drive in the
correct channel on Worksheet A. Physical drives on different channels can be
assigned to the same array.
NOTE
How to Handle Non-Hot-Swap Devices
When you enable integrated HP NetRAID for SCSI B, the non-hot-swap SCSI
devices automatically appear as part of the HP NetRAID channel and must be
configured along with the hot-swap drives in the mass storage cage. For example,
SCSI tape devices will appear as part of the HP NetRAID channel.
NOTE

If you plan to enable integrated HP NetRAID on SCSI B, list the non-hot-swap
SCSI devices on Worksheet A that will be part of the RAID subsystem.

It is recommended that if you enable HP NetRAID on only one
channel, that you use the default configuration and enable HP
NetRAID on SCSI A.
If you enable HP NetRAID on only one channel, and later
want to enable a second channel, you must follow the
instructions in Chapter 9, "Configuring a Second Integrated
HP NetRAID Channel," in this guide.
If you plan to enable HP NetRAID on SCSI B, and if you have
installed non-hot-swap SCSI devices, make certain the non-
hot-swap and the hot-swap devices do not share the same
SCSI ID. Resolve conflicts by resetting the SCSI address
switch of the non-hot-swap device.
To avoid having the non-hot-swap drives be part of the HP
NetRAID subsystem, you can connect the non-hot-swap
devices to a SCSI controller accessory board.
