Adaptec asr-5405 kit [48/116] Creating an array

Adaptec asr-7805q sgl + afm-700 [48/116] Creating an array
6 Creating a Bootable Array
This chapter explains how to set your Adaptec controller to be the boot controller, and how to create
a bootable array.
Note: If you are completing a standard installation onto an existing operating system,
you don’t have to complete this task. Skip to Installing the Driver on an Existing
Operating System on page 60.
Setting the Boot Controller
Note: If your system won’t contain more than one bootable controller, skip to the
next section, Creating an Array on page 48.
Your Adaptec RAID controller supports bootable disk drives and bootable arrays. To enable your system
to boot from either a disk drive or an array connected to your controller:
1. Enter the system setup.
2. Navigate to the drive boot sequence.
3. Move the boot controller to the top of the list.
For more information, refer to your computer documentation.
Creating an Array
This section explains how to create an array.
A RAID 5 array is created in the examples shown in this section because RAID 5 provides the most security
and best performance with a minimum of three disk drives. However, you can choose to create an array
with a different RAID level; you can also change array level later, after the operating system is installed.
You can create an array using any of these tools:
• Adaptec RAID Conguration Utility (ARC)—BIOS-based menus and keyboard navigation (see the
following section).
• maxView Storage Manager—Graphical software application (running from a bootable USB image)
that you can navigate with your mouse (see About maxView Storage Manager on page 65).
• ARCCONF—Command line utility. For instructions, refer to the Adaptec RAID Controller Command
Line Utility User’s Guide.
You can use any of these tools, but the ARC utility is the quickest and easiest tool for this task.
Note: We recommend that you do not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the
same array. maxView Storage Manager displays a warning if you try to create a logical
drive using a combination of SAS and SATA disk drives. See What is SAS? on page 70
for more information.
Creating an Array with the ARC Utility
The ARC utility is menu-based. Instructions for completing tasks appear on-screen. Menus can be
navigated using the arrows, Enter, Esc, and other keys on your keyboard.
To create a RAID 5 array:
1. Power on your computer. When prompted, press Ctrl+A to enter the ARC utility.
Note: On computers that support the Unied Extensible Firmware Interface, or
uEFI, ARC utility options are presented with a uEFI/HII interface rather than the
Adaptec Ctrl-A interface described below. To begin using the ARC utility with the
uEFI/HII interface, see Ctrl-A or uEFI/HII? on page 83.
