Using a Pre-loaded SCSI Drive “As-is”
CAUTION
To use a pre-loaded drive in the manner described here, you must make it the first logical
drive defined (for example: LD1) on the controller to which it is connected.
You may have a SCSI disk drive that is already loaded with software. The drive may be a
boot disk containing an operating system. You can use the MegaRAID controller as a SCSI
adapter for such a drive by performing the following steps.
To use a pre-loaded SCSI drive:
1. Connect the SCSI drive to one of the channels on the MegaRAID controller, with proper
termination and target ID settings.
2. Boot the system and start Setup by pressing
CTRL
+
M
.
3. Choose Easy Configuration from the Configure menu.
4. Press the cursor keys to highlight the pre-loaded drive.
5. Press the spacebar. The pre-loaded drive should now become an array element.
6. Press
ENTER
. You have now declared the pre-loaded drive as a one-disk array. Display
the logical drive configuration screen.
7. Set the read policy and cache option on the Advanced menu.
8. Exit the Advanced menu. Highlight Accept and press
ENTER
.
9. Press
ESC
and choose Yes at the Save prompt.
10. Exit Setup and reboot.
Set the host system to boot from SCSI, if such a setting is available.
