Using a Pre-loaded SCSI Drive "As-is"
CAUTION
To use a pre-loaded drive in the manner described here, you must make it the first logical
drive defined (for example: LD1) on the controller to which it is connected.
You may have a SCSI disk drive that is already loaded with software. The drive may be a
boot disk containing an operating system. You can use the MegaRAID controller as a SCSI
adapter for such a drive by performing the following steps.
To use a pre-loaded SCSI drive:
1. Connect the SCSI drive to one of the channels on the MegaRAID controller, with proper
termination and target ID settings.
2. Boot the system and start Setup by pressing
3. Choose Easy Configuration from the Configure menu.
4. Press the cursor keys to highlight the pre-loaded drive.
5. Press the spacebar. The pre-loaded drive should now become an array element.
6. Press
the logical drive configuration screen.
7. Set the read policy and cache option on the Advanced menu.
8. Exit the Advanced menu. Highlight Accept and press
9. Press
10. Exit Setup and reboot.
Set the host system to boot from SCSI, if such a setting is available.
