B. HP NetRAID Config Management Menu Options

The Management Menu options are explained below.

NOTE

These instructions in using HP NetRAID Config refer specifically to the Novell
NetWare network operating system. Specific features may not be available in all
network operating systems, and the exact location of specific menu options may
vary.

Configure

Choose the Configure option to select a method for configuring arrays and logical drives. Refer to
Configuration Methods below for instructions.

Initialize

CAUTION

Initializing logical drives erases all data on the physical drives.

Choose this option from the HP NetRAID Config Management Menu to initialize one or more
logical drives. This action typically follows the configuration of a new logical drive. To select the
drive to initialize, press the spacebar. To select all the drives, press F2. To initialize the selected
drive(s), press F10.

To cancel initialization once you have started it, press Esc.

Objects Menu

Objects

Choose the Objects option to access the adapters, logical drives, physical drives, and SCSI channels
individually. You can also change certain settings for each object.

Adapter

Choose the Adapter option from the Objects menu to select an HP NetRAID or HP NetRAID-1
adapter (if your NetServer has more than one) and to modify parameters.

Clear Configuration: Erases the current configuration from the adapter non-volatile
memory.

View Adapter Performance: Displays the selected adapter read/write performance.

PowerFail Safeguard: Enables/Disable drive rebuild to restart when the system restarts in
the event of a power failure. (Rebuilds will take longer if PowerFail Safeguard is enabled.)
The default setting is Disabled.

Disk Spin-UpTimings: Sets the method and timing for spinning up the hard disk drives in
the NetServer. The default setting is Automatic.

Alarm Control: Choose this option to enable, disable, or silence the onboard alarm tone
generator. The default setting is Enabled.
