Using ServeRAID Manager

Use ServeRAID Manager, which is on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD, to:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
v Restore a SCSI hard disk drive to the factory-default settings, erasing all data
v View your RAID configuration and associated devices
v Monitor the operation of your RAID controllers
To perform some tasks, you can run ServeRAID Manager as an installed program.
However, to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and
perform an initial RAID configuration on the server, you must run ServeRAID
Manager in Startable CD mode, as described in the instructions in this section. If
you install a different type of RAID adapter in the server, use the configuration
method described in the instructions that come with that adapter to view or change
SCSI settings for attached devices.
See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for
additional information about RAID technology and instructions for using ServeRAID
Manager to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities.
Additional information about ServeRAID Manager is also available from the Help
menu. For information about a specific object in the ServeRAID Manager tree,
