Adaptec asr-5405 kit [84/116] Using the arc utility to create and manage arrays

Adaptec asr-6805 kit [84/116] Using the arc utility to create and manage arrays
During boot up, if your system has insufcient memory this message displays:
“Adaptec RAID Conguration Utility will load after, system initialization. Please wait... Or press <Enter> Key to
attempt loading the utility forcibly [Generally, not recommended]”
Note: The rst time you power on your computer after you install a new controller,
the BIOS may display a conguration that doesn't match your system's conguration.
This is normal.
Using the ARC Utility to Create and Manage Arrays
To use the ARC utility to create and manage arrays, start the ARC utility (see Running the ARC Utility on
page 83), select your controller (if you have more than one), then press Enter. Select Logical Device
Conguration (or Array Conguration Utility on Adaptec Series 6 controllers) from the ARC main menu,
then press Enter.
Follow the on-screen instructions to create and manage arrays, and initialize, rescan, and erase disk
drives.
Creating a New Array
To begin creating an array, select Create Arrays from the Logical Device Conguration menu.
Only disk drives that can be used in a new array are available for selection. (Disk drives must be initialized
before they can be used in an array. See Initializing Disk Drives on page 86 for more information.)
Note:
• To create a hybrid array that leverages the performance benets of the SSDs in
your system, you must select an equal number SSDs and HDDs. You can create
a hybrid RAID1 or hybrid RAID10 only.
• When you create an all SSD array, we recommend disabling all caching, including
maxCache caching. If any caching is enabled when you create the array, you will
be prompted to turn caching off.
Use the Array Properties menu to modify the array's RAID level, size, name, stripe size, cache settings,
and maxCache settings.
Note: For more information about RAID levels and using disk drives to create arrays,
see Choosing a RAID Level on page 35. For more information about maxCache, see
Modifying Cache Settings on page 85.
Managing Existing Arrays
To view or modify existing arrays, select Manage Arrays from the Logical Device Conguration menu.
From the Manage Arrays menu, you can:
• View the properties of an array.
Note: Failed drives are displayed in a different text color.
• Make an array bootable (see Creating Bootable Arrays on page 84).
• Assign or remove hot spares.
• Modify power management settings.
• Change the cache settings for an array.
• Delete an array.
Caution: Before deleting an array, back up the data to avoid permanently losing
it.
Creating Bootable Arrays
Note: You may need to change the system BIOS to modify the boot order. For more
information, refer to your computer documentation.
The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its bootable array.
