The DACCF utility is included with the RAID
controller. The DAC960 RAID controller supports
various versions of RAID technology (referred to as
RAID levels). To use any RAID level, you must
configure the RAID controller using the DACCF
configuration utility prior to installing your Network
Operating System. For an explanation of this utility,
refer to the DACCF Utilities Installation Guide and
User Manual that was shipped with the server. Chapter
2 of the manual (Configuration Strategies) describes
RAID technology and provides tips on making your
array perform well in your specific application. Chapter
3 (Preparing the Array) covers array hardware
preparation, configuration, and initialization. After
completing the steps in chapter 3, you can install your
Network Operating System.
If you want to be able to remotely (from a PC client)
configure the array; increase array capacity online; or
monitor statistics on disk and controller activity, you
must install the Global Array Manager (GAM) option
that was provided with your RAID subsystem. The GAM
option includes diskettes and user documentation. Use
of GAM is documented in the Global Array Manager 2
Server Installation Guide. Increasing array capacity is
covered in the MORE User Guide. This user guide
covers enhancements to both the Global Array manager
and DACCF utilities software that implement online
RAID expansion (MORE) technology.
