HP ProLiant DL760 G2 Server - Manual (Page 208)

Configuring the Server
Configuring the Drive Array Controller
If you are using a simple SCSI controller to boot from the internal drives, disregard
this section and proceed to the “Installing the Operating System” section later in this
chapter. If you are using a Smart Array 5i Controller or an array controller installed
into a PCI/PCI-X slot to boot from the internal drives, the first time the system is
powered up, you must create the logical drive (or drives) in the RAID array.
The Smart Array 5i Controller built into the ProLiant DL760 G2 server can use any
of the following utilities to create logical drives based on the RAID configuration that
you specify:
• Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA)
• Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
• Array Configuration Replicator Utility (ACR)
The ProLiant DL760 G2 server has an embedded Smart Array 5i Controller. This
controller is a dual channel Ultra3 SCSI array controller embedded on the I/O board.
Both channels support Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI devices. The controller
provides the following features:
• 32 MB of total memory, 12 MB of read-ahead cache
• Support for up to four internal Ultra3 SCSI hot-plug drives in RAID 0, 1, 1+0,
and 5 configurations
• External connector support for external tape drives to back up the internal drives
• Migration between RAID levels
• Migration between stripe sizes
• Prefailure notification and Pre-Failure Warranty (through Insight Manager 7)
• Online spares
Port 1 is connected to an external very high density connector interface (VHDCI)
SCSI connector. Port 2 is dedicated to controlling the SCSI drives in the internal
drive bay.
