How to Handle Non-Hot-Swap Devices

Non-hot swap devices in HP NetServer LH 3/3r and LH 4/4r are on SCSI channel

B (unless they have been connected to a separate SCSI controller accessory

board). Non hot-swap devices in HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and

LH 6000/6000r are independent of integrated HP NetRAID channels.

l For HP NetServer LH 3/3r and LH 4/4r, when you enable integrated

HP NetRAID for SCSI B, all non-hot-swap SCSI drives automatically

appear as part of the HP NetRAID channel and must be configured along

with the hot-swap drives in the mass storage cage.

If you plan to enable integrated HP NetRAID on SCSI B, list the non-hot-

swap SCSI devices on Worksheet A that will be part of the RAID

subsystem.

l For HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and LH 6000/6000r, the non-hot

swap devices are on the SE SCSI channel, which is separate from the

integrated HP NetRAID channels, SCSI A and B. Do not include non-hot

swap devices in Worksheet A.

l For HP NetServer LT 6000r, the non-hot swap devices are only

supported on the external SCSI B channel or a SCSI controller accessory

board. Include any non-hot swap devices on SCSI B in Worksheet A.

NOTE Integrated HP NetRAID does not support tape drives.

• In HP NetServer LH 3/3r and LH 4/4r, tape drives can be

connected through the SE connector to SCSI channel B,

but then SCSI B should not be included in integrated

HP NetRAID.

• In HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and LH 6000/6000r, tape

drives can be connected to the single-ended channel,

which is not associated with integrated HP NetRAID.

• In HP NetServer LT 6000r operating in HP NetRAID

mode, tape drives cannot be connected to SCSI A or

SCSI B.

Tape drives and other non-hot-swap drives can be connected

to a SCSI controller accessory board.
