Installing the RAID Utility
When using RAID controllers, make sure you install the RAID Utility for the operating
system. Install Power Console on Windows systems, or MegaRAID Manager on systems
running NetWare. Installation of the incorrect utility will make it impossible for drives to be
hot-swapped, or replaced, during operation of the drives if they experience a fault.
The following events may occur if the system load increases significantly:
❖
Event ID:
9
Source:mraid35x
(Explanation) Device SCSI Port did not reply within the time-out.
- Displayed at the “Application Log” of the NT Event Viewer
If the above messages appear, reduce the load by pressing the
Enter
key, and then
restarting Power Console.
Automatic rebuilding with a hot spare
If the server is configured with a hot spare (standby disk), you can rebuild the disk array
using the hot spare, even if a hard disk drive (other than the hot spare) is malfunctioning.
When the rebuild completes, the status indicators on that hard disk drive will turn off. To
ensure that the fault alarm operates properly, set Alarm Control to “Enabled.”
Rebuilding the disk array using Power Console Plus
When rebuilding the server’s disk array, the following error may occur when you start
Power Console:
If this error message appears on screen, press the
Enter
key before restarting the
rebuilding process.
Before using Windows, be sure you have installed the Server Monitor and Power
Console SNMP so all MegaRAID error messages can be seen in the Event
Viewer. Refer to the MegaRAID software User’s Manual for more information.
