■ Error and Warning Messages
■ NetWare Online Array Configuration Utility
The Array Configuration Utility:
■ Uses easy-to-understand graphics to illustrate controller configuration
■ Describes various configuration errors
■ Uses wizards that guide you through the configuration process
■ Suggests optimal configuration and fault tolerance for unconfigured
controllers
During a first-time installation and configuration of the RA4000, complete the
following:
1. Update the system ROM with System ROMPaq.
2. Run Options ROMPaq to update the controller firmware, option ROM,
and drive firmware.
3. Run the System Configuration Utility to verify the controller order
settings.
4. Determine which fault-tolerance method and array configuration to use.
You can access and start version 2.30 or later of the Array Configuration
Utility online, or by using the SmartStart and Support Software CD.
In multi-initiator environments, only one instance of the ACU can be used to
configure drive arrays on a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop at one time.
