Using The Lsi Logic Configuration Utility Program - IBM System x3620 M3 7376 Installation And User Manual

Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program

Use the information in this section to configure an optional LSI RAID controller. If
you need to configure an optional ServeRAID controller, see "Configuring a
ServeRAID controller" on page 99. You can also select System Settings and
Adapters and UEFI Drivers on the Setup utility to view a list of UEFI device
drivers that support configuration; then, select the adapter that you want to
configure to start a configuration program (see "Using the Setup utility" on page 84).
Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant
array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use the program as described
in this document. Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to perform the
following tasks:
v Perform a low-level format of a hard disk drive
v View or change IDs for attached devices
v Set device scan order
v Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives
v Configure arrays
v View your RAID configuration and associated devices
v Monitor operation of your RAID controllers
v Create a mirrored pair of hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive
You can download an LSI command-line configuration program (CFG1030) from
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. For more information about the RAID
controller, go to http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/
docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-65723&brandind=5000008 or complete the following
steps.

2. Under Product support, click Hardware upgrades.
3. Under Product family, click RAID.
4. Under Type, click on the type of RAID controller that is installed in your server.
When you use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure and manage
arrays, review the following information:
v When you create a RAID level-1 (mirrored) pair, all drives must be on the same
v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. The drives in an array

can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all
have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
