v
An optional ServeRAID controller can provide additional RAID support to the
hot-swap drives.
v
Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. 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.
v
To help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data
rates.
v
To update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID SAS
controller, you must use the IBM
ServeRAID Support
CD that comes with the
ServeRAID optional device.
Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program
Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility programs to perform the following tasks:
v
Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array
v
View or change the RAID configuration and associated devices
To start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the prompt
Press CTRL-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility...
appears, press Ctrl+C. If you have set an supervisor password, you are
prompted to type the password.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the controller for which you want to change
settings. Use the Help function to see instructions and available actions for this
screen.
4. To change the settings of the selected items, follow the instructions on the
screen.
5. When you have finished changing settings, press Esc to exit the program; select
Save to save the settings that you have changed.
Using the LSI Logic MegaRAID Storage Manager program
Use the LSI Logic MegaRAID Storage Manager program to monitor and manage
the disk-array subsystem connected to the integrated SAS controller with RAID
capabilities and the optional ServeRAID controller device. The LSI Logic MegaRAID
Storage Manager program, device drivers, and information come with the server.
Using the baseboard management controller
Note:
You can update the baseboard management controller (BMC) firmware to the
latest version by logging into the BMC and applying the IPMI code image file from
the Web server. See “Updating the baseboard management controller firmware” on
page 23 for the instructions to update the BMC firmware.
The baseboard management controller provides basic service-processor
environmental monitoring functions for the server. If an environmental condition
exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management
controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and also records the error
in the BMC system event log.
The baseboard management controller also provides the following remote server
management capabilities through the OSA SMBridge management utility program:
v
Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)
The command-line interface provides direct access to server management
functions through the IPMI protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue
