Option ROM Configuration
for Arrays Utility
After installing the Integrated Smart Array Controller, you must configure the
controller before configuring the first array and logical drive. The Option
ROM Configuration for Arrays utility supports only controllers that require a
single-boot device.
Requirements
The Option ROM Configuration for Arrays utility streamlines the controller
software’s complex functions and its interaction with other configuration
utilities. The utility limits operation to the following functions:
■ The software configures only one logical drive that is used as the boot
device. Additional logical drives can be configured with the online
Array Configuration Utility (ACU) or with the ACU version provided
on the SmartStart and Support Software CD.
NOTE: Novell NetWare and Windows NT operating systems are supported by the online
Array Configuration Utility. Other operating systems, including IBM OS/2, SCO OpenServer,
Banyan VINES, and others, can be run from the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software
CD. Chapter 6 explains how to run the ACU for various operating systems.
■ The software supports functionality for configuring a single logical
drive, viewing the current logical drive configuration, and deleting the
current logical drive configuration.
