Backing Up the Disk-Array Configuration



Backing Up the Disk-Array Configuration

The RAID adapter maintains a record of the disk-array configuration information in its electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) module. The disk-array configuration is vital information.  To protect this information, back up the information to diskette as soon as you have completed the tasks. You need a blank, formatted, 3.5-inch diskette.

To back up the disk-array configuration information to diskette:
  1.  Label a blank diskette 'Disk Array  Configuration Backup' and date it.
  2.  Start the RAID configuration program by inserting the  IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI-Bus Adapter Configuration Option Diskette into the  primary diskette drive  and powering-on the system.  If the system already is powered-on,  press Ctrl+Alt+Del.

     Select Start RAID Configuration Program  from the PC DOS start-up menu and  press Enter.

  3.  Select Advanced functions from the Main Menu.
  4.  Select Backup config. to diskette.
  5.  Remove the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI-Bus Adapter Configuration Option Diskette from the drive and  insert the blank diskette.
  6.  Follow the instructions on the screen.
