Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program
Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program
You can start the ServeRAID Configuration program in one
of three ways. Choose one of these startup methods, and
follow the appropriate (below) instructions.
- During the initial startup of the server using ServerGuide
- After an operating system is installed using ServerGuide
- Using diskettes to Start the ServeRAID Configuration Program
During the Initial Startup of the Server:
Using ServerGuide, insert the HardwareGuide CD in the
CD-ROM drive and start the server. Follow the
instructions in the ServerGuide package to start the
ServeRAID Configuration program.
When the ServeRAID Configuration program starts, go to
'Using the ServeRAID Configuration Program'
for more information.
After an Operating System is Installed
Note:
- Ensure that the CD-ROM is enabled as the
startup drive. (See 'Start Options'
for additional information.)
- If a screen appears asking you to select an
operating system, select the operating system
that you have installed. This does not reinstall
the operating system. This is for information only.
Insert the HardwareGuide CD in the CD-ROM drive and
start the server. Follow the instructions in the
ServerGuide package to start the ServeRAID Configuration Program.
When the ServeRAID Configuration Program starts, go to
'Using the ServeRAID Configuration Program'
for more information.
Using Diskettes to Start the ServeRAID
Configuration Program: If you choose to use
diskettes to configure the ServeRAID controller, you must
first make the ServeRAID diskettes. You can make the
diskettes using the Diskette Factory feature of
ServerGuide. Refer to the ServerGuide documentation
for instructions. You can also download the diskette
images from the World Wide Web. See 'Online Support'
for information about pages IBM maintains on the World Wide Web.
Once you have made the ServeRAID diskettes, do the
following to start the ServeRAID Configuration program.
Insert the ServeRAID Configuration Diskette into the
primary diskette drive, then, turn on the system. If the
system is already turned on, press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Each time the system starts, the ServeRAID controller
performs a power-on self-test (POST). The POST checks
the configuration information for the ServeRAID controller
and for the configured hard disk drives. When POST
detects a problem, an error message appears on the
screen. If this occurs, see 'Symptom-to-FRU Index'.
When the ServeRAID Configuration program starts, go to
'Using the ServeRAID Configuration Program'
for more information.
