Command-Line
Interface
provides
direct
access
to
BladeCenter

functions
as
an
alternative
to
using

Using
the
command-line
interface,
you
can
issue
commands
to
control
the
power
and
configuration
of
the
blade
server
and
other
components
installed
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
The
command-line

also
provides
access
to
the

for
your
blade

through
a

Configuring
an
IDE
RAID
Note:
Configuring
an
IDE
RAID
only
applies
to
a
blade
server
that
has
two
IDE
hard
disk
drives
installed.
You
can
configure
an
IDE
redundant
array
of
independent
disks
(RAID)
array
for
your
blade
server.
Two
IDE
hard
disk
drives
in
the
blade
server
can
be
used
to
implement
and
manage
RAID
level-0
(stripe)
and
RAID
level-1
(mirror)
arrays
under
operating
systems
that
are
listed
on
the
ServerProven
list
at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.
For
your
blade
server,
you
must
configure
IDE
RAID
in
the
following
areas:
v
In
BIOS,
using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program,
and
the
MegaRAID
IDE
Setup
Utility
program,
which
is
part
of
the
firmware
in
your
server
v
In
your
operating
system,
using
the
operating-system
configuration
tools
and
the
MegaRAID
IDEal
Software
RAID
utility
Important:
You
must
create
the
RAID
array
before
you
install
the
operating
system
on
your
blade
server.
Creating
an
IDE
RAID
array
configuration
Complete
the
following
steps
to
set
up
an
IDE
RAID
array
on
your
blade
server.
Attention:
Information
that
is
stored
on
the
IDE
hard
disk
drives
will
be
affected
when
the
drives
become
part
of
a
RAID
array.
If
the
IDE
hard
disk
drives
contain
any
information
that
you
want
to
keep,
back
them
up
to
another
storage
device.
1.
Obtain
the
IDE
RAID
documentation
and
device
drivers
for
your
operating
system
from
the
IBM
Support
Web
site
at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
2.
Review
your
operating-system
and
MegaRAID
IDE
documentation
for
information
about
IDE
hard
disk
drive
RAID
configuration.
The
latest
version
of
the
MegaRAID
IDEal
Software
RAID
Utility
program
and
documentation
are
available
for
download
from
the
IBM
Support
Web
site
at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
3.
Make
sure
that
the
operating
system
that
you
plan
to
install
supports
IDE
RAID.
Operating
systems
that
support
IDE
RAID
on
your
server
type
are
listed
on
the
ServerProven
list
at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.
