Commands are executed only on the selected board. If a RAID controller board is not found,
the message "Not Installed" appears in the box.
Drive Information
Use this option to provide information about the disk drives connected to the selected RAID
controller board in a system. The horizontal bar represents the SCSI channel and the box
represents a drive. The box also indicates the drive status. Select a drive to view
information on soft error, hard error, parity error, drive model, or select OK to exit.
Change/Add Device
Use this option to idle a SCSI channel on the RAID controller board. Use this function when
replacing or rebuilding a dead drive on the selected channel. After the channel idles,
disconnect and remove the dead drive. Install a drive that functions properly.
NOTE
Activity on the SCSI channel restarts 30 seconds after you idle a channel without informing
you with a message. Changing a drive must be done in less than 30 seconds, or done in two
stages: Idle the channel before removing the dead drive, then idle the channel again before
installing the new drive.
Make Standby
Use this option to create a standby drive. Select the dead (DEAD) drive box to make the
dead drive a standby drive. The RAID controller board will automatically try to start the
drive. If successful, it will make the drive a standby drive.
NOTE
Only drives that are not part of any Drive Group (pack) can be made standby drives.
Rebuild Drive
Use this option to rebuild a drive indicated as dead by the RAID controller board. Before
executing this option, replace the dead drive with a properly working drive. Select the dead
(DEAD) drive box to start a rebuild on the drive selected, or select OK to exit. After the
rebuild starts, the rebuild status displays every system drive that needs the rebuild process.
System Drive
Use this option to display complete information about the system drives connected to the
RAID controller board. The information displayed includes the system drive number, RAID
level, write policy size, and status. The System Drive option also indicates system drives
that are Online, Offline or in a Critical state.
