Installing Autoraid Manager Software; Installation Tips - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 System Administrator Manual

Disk Array SCSI Settings
The following disk array SCSI settings must be checked and set to the indicated value if necessary.
WDTR set to enabled
SDTR set to enabled
Use the disk array control panel is to view and change SCSI settings. Refer to the HP SureStore E Disk
Array 12H User's and Service Manual for control panel information.
Logical Drive Configuration
NOTE! At least one logical drive must be created on the disk array before the array can be
accessed by the host server. During the boot process, the server must recognize a logical drive
on the disk array to ensure the HBA device driver is loaded properly. If there is no logical drive on
the disk array, the server may hang during the boot process.
Logical drive 0 must be created on the disk array to ensure that the host recognizes the array. Your strategy
for creating logical drive 0 will be influenced by the type of installation - NT cluster or standalone.
NT cluster - In NT cluster installations logical drive 0 must be reserved for exclusive use by the
AutoRAID Manager and should not be used for data files. This unused logical drive is essential for
maintaining proper operation should one of the cluster servers fail. Because logical drive 0 is used only
for management purposes, you should make it as small as possible.
Standalone (noncluster) - In standalone installations logical drive 0 can be used as any other logical
drive on the disk array. Its size will depend on your overall logical drive strategy for the disk array.
Use the disk array control panel to create a logical drive. Refer to the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H
User's and Service Manual for control panel information.
