Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Config. Guide

Chapter 5 Configuration

NOTE For internal mass storage in HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and

LH 6000/6000r, and LT 6000r, SCSI ID 5 is reserved for the

SAF-TE processor that manages the hot-swap mass storage

cage.

For an external mass storage enclosure with a SAF-TE

processor, a SCSI ID is reserved for that processor. The

number of the reserved SCSI ID varies with the type of

external enclosure.

The SAF-TE processor is displayed in the Physical Devices

box with the rectangular green icon that is used for adapters.

The state of each physical drive appears to the right of the SCSI ID. The

possible states of a physical drive are as follows:

◊ Online: The physical drive is online, functioning normally, and part

of a configured logical drive.

◊ Ready: The physical drive is functioning normally, but is not part of a

configured logical drive, nor configured as a hot spare.

◊ Spare: The physical drive is configured as a hot spare, and is powered

up and ready for use as a spare in case an online drive fails.

◊ Failed: The physical drive failed and is out of service.

◊ Rebuilding: The physical drive is involved in a rebuild process to

recover data that was on a failed drive.

• Logical Devices box: When arrays, logical drives, and hot spares have

been defined, they are displayed here. Clicking on Logical View or

Physical View switches between showing logical drives and physical

drives. Clicking on the + sign in the yellow diamond expands the view if

it is collapsed (physical or logical drives or hot spares are hidden).

• Status line: The status line at the bottom of the window shows the

progress of the scan required to build the displays on the HP NetRAID

Assistant window. It also suggests possible actions.
