Configuring the Controller

The steps in this section include editing Controller Order and Online Recovery
Server Status parameters. To make the correct selections, the parameters are
discussed below.

Controller Order

Select the order in which you want this Smart Array 3200 Controller to be
recognized. All hard disk controllers, including the integrated controller on the
system board, must be assigned a unique order number.

First

The primary disk controller that contains the boot disk. The first disk
drive on this controller is the one the server will boot from.

Second

The second disk controller.

.

.

.

Fifteenth

The fifteenth disk controller.

When installing a Smart Array 3200 Controller, you must determine if the boot
disk is to be handled by a Smart Array 3200 Controller or the integrated SCSI
controller. If this Smart Array 3200 Controller will be the primary controller,
choose First; a Configuration Changes screen appears, indicating that if you
accept this change the integrated SCSI controller will be changed automatically
to Second. Press Enter to accept these changes.

If you want the order of the integrated SCSI controller to be something other
than Second, scroll (usually down) to the Embedded Compaq Integrated
Controller and set the Controller Order manually.
