Testing the Configuration
To determine that your system is ready for use, test the configuration as follows:
1. In RAIDar, select Monitor > Vdisk Status and view the configuration information
for each virtual disk.
The virtual disk status is Critical during initialization but you can perform I/O to the
volume.
2. From the data host:
a. Make the volume an operating system partition.
b. Verify that you can access the mapped volume and the volume size shown on the
data host matches the size shown in RAIDar.
c. Verify that you can write data to the volume.
If the above tests succeed, your system is ready for use.
3. Once you have determined that your system is ready for use, tighten the thumb
screws on all SAS cables.
4. Optionally, unmount the volume and delete the test vdisks.
Logging Out of RAIDar
If you do not log out of RAIDar when you have finished using it, other
manage
users cannot log in to the same controller module and your IP address stays logged
in for 30 minutes (the default auto-logout timeout setting).
To log out of RAIDar:
1. Click Log Off at the bottom of the menu.
The Log Off page is displayed.
2. Click Log Off.
