Configuration Menu
The following Configuration menu options assist you in configuring your
HP NetRAID system.
•
Wizard: Lets you configure the arrays, logical drives, and parameters of
your system. For complete information on the Wizard, see Part C of this
chapter, "Using the Wizard to Configure Arrays and Logical Drives."
•
Display: Displays the current configuration properties:
◊ Logical drive properties include State, RAID Type, Write Policy, Read
Policy, Cache Policy, Stripe Size, Number of Stripes, Size (in MB)
◊ Physical drives properties include Rank, Channel, and Target (SCSI)
•
Print: Prints a hardcopy of the current configuration display.
•
Save: Saves the current configuration to a binary file. A dialogue box
prompts you to give your configuration a file name with a
.cfg extension.
Clicking an X in the Read Only box makes the file read only. This option
is not an alternative to saving your configuration by using the Wizard.
NOTE You should always save your current configuration to a file.
This file is essential if you ever have to replace a failed
adapter.
•
Load: Loads a configuration from a previously saved binary file. A
dialogue box prompts you to choose your configuration from among
.cfg
files in the directory. Use this option if you are replacing a failed adapter.
This selection does not cause a reconstruction to occur.
•
Clear Configuration: Select this option to erase the current configuration
information from the selected adapter’s non-volatile memory. The current
RAID configuration becomes invalid after you select this option. This
option should be used only when configuring a new system.
NOTE If you have inadvertently erased your configuration, you can
recover it by immediately loading a previously saved
configuration. If you do not have a file copy of the previous
configuration, you can reconfigure the physical drives into the
exact same array and logical drive structure in which they had
been, and save the configuration. Do not select the Initialize
menu selection.
