CONFIGURING THE RAID DRIVE (HostRAID)

The following explains the overview of HostRAID and the setup procedure.

Overview of HostRAID

HostRAID provides the RAID feature through the Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI interface installed as
standard in the system.
HostRAID consists of the driver that controls disk arrays and "Adaptec Storage Manager
Edition" (hereinafter abbreviated to ASMBE) that is a disk array management utility.
The software products are mandatory for HostRAID to function normally. Be sure to install both
software products. For the driver, refer to the setup procedure explained in this manual. For ASMBE,

Features
HostRAID supports the hot swap rebuild function for the hot plug insertion (HotSwap) of
hard disk drives.
HostRAID enables the BIOS utility to select the disk array/standard SCSI for each
channel.
Since the JAVA-based management utility ASMBE uses the browser (Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.5 or later), the software does not need to be installed into each client PC for
management. (The software must be installed in each server.)
