Making the Array Bootable

You can make the array bootable so that the system boots from the
array instead of from a stand-alone (single) disk.
To make the array bootable, the array must be set to #0 in the boot
order. Follow these steps if you want the system to boot from the
newly created array:
Note:
The system will always attempt to boot from any
installed non-SCSI hard disks (for example, any IDE hard
disk at drive C). You must disable or remove all non-SCSI
hard disks if you want the system to boot from a SCSI hard
disk or array.
1
Insert the ARRAYCONFIG U2 disk in drive A and reboot the
system. Wait for ARRAYCONFIG U2 to start automatically.
2
Read the text that appears on the initial screens. Press any key
to view the next screen, or press ESC to return to the previous
screen.
3
Select Custom Setup from the Setup Type Selection Menu.
4
Select Display Boot Order from the Main Menu. The Boot
Order for Singles and Arrays window appears.
5
If the newly created array is at the top of the list, preceded by
the words Unit 0, no changes are necessary; if it has some other
unit number, highlight the array name and press Enter.
6
Use the arrow keys to move the selected array to the top of the
list. Then press Enter. If you want to change the boot order of
another array, select it, move it with the arrow keys, and press
Enter again.
7
Press Esc to return to the Main Menu.
8
Exit ARRAYCONFIG U2, remove the disk from drive A, and
reboot the system.
