Backup config. to diskette

. Follow the instructions on the

screen.

10. Exit the ServeRAID configuration program by pressing Esc or

selecting Exit from the Main Menu. A Confirm pop-up window
appears asking you to confirm your action.

11. Reinstall your operating system and device drivers, then restore

your data and programs.

Maintaining Your Disk Arrays

This section contains procedures for defining the state of a hard disk
drive, information about the status indicators for logical and hard
disk drives, and instructions for replacing defunct drives. It also
contains procedures for displaying drive information and erasing
the device error table. This section provides information about the
status indicators for logical and hard disk drives, and the results of
a hard disk drive failure. It also contains procedures for defining
the state of a hard disk drive and replacing defunct drives.

Setting Device States

To define the state of a physical hard disk drive attached to the
ServeRAID adapter, you can use the Administration and Monitoring
program or the ServeRAID configuration program. By using the
Administration and Monitoring program from your active operating
system Desktop, you do not have to restart the server. Refer to the
README file for instructions on using the Administration and
Monitoring program for your operating system.

To define the state of a drive:

1. Start the ServeRAID configuration program (refer to “Starting

the Configuration Program” on page 25).

2. Select Rebuild/Device Management from the Main Menu. The

following screen appears.
