IBM ServeRAID Hot Replace Wizard. To perform a hot-replace operation, start the IBM ServeRAID Hot Replace Wizard. You can start this program from within either the IBM Hot Plug for Windows NT 4.0 program or the ServeRAID Manager program. You can use the ServeRAID Manager program to start the wizard either on the server with the failed controller, or across the network from a remote installation of the ServeRAID Manager.
Page 28: Installing The Serveraid Controller
Note: It is useful to start the IBM ServeRAID Hot Replace Wizard from a remote installation when the server with the failed controller does not have a monitor. Installing the ServeRAID controller During the installation, you might need a small, flat-blade screwdriver and the documentation that comes with your server.
Page 29 ® Note: For Netfinity 3000 servers, the ServeRAID controllers are supported only when installed in PCI slot 3. Do not install these controllers in PCI slots 1 or 2. Before you can install a ServeRAID controller in a Netfinity 3000, you must first remove the standard SCSI controller that comes in PCI slot 3.

Page 33: Chapter 3. Understanding Raid Technology
RAID levels that you assign to the logical drives. The ServeRAID controllers support RAID level-0, 1, 1E, 5, 5E, 00, 10, 1E0, and 50. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001...
Page 34 Understanding RAID level-0 RAID level-0 stripes the data across all the drives in the array. This offers substantial speed enhancement, but provides no data redundancy. RAID level-0 provides the largest storage capacity of the RAID levels that are offered, because no room is taken for redundant data or data-parity storage.
Page 35 When you replace a failed drive, the ServeRAID controller can rebuild all the RAID level-1E and RAID level-5E logical drives automatically onto the replacement physical drive. However, any data stored in a failed RAID level-0 logical drive is lost. Although the risk of data loss is present, you might want to assign RAID level-0 to one of the logical drives to take advantage of the speed this RAID level offers.
Page 36 The data is striped across the drives, creating blocks. Notice that the data on the drive on the right is a copy of the drive on the left. With RAID level-1, if one of the physical drives fails, the ServeRAID controller switches read and write requests to the remaining functional drive in the RAID level-1 array.
Page 37 Then, create a logical drive within that array. The data is striped across the drives, creating blocks. Notice that the stripe labeled is the data stripe and the stripe labeled is the copy of the preceding data stripe. Also notice that each block on the mirror stripe is shifted one drive.
Page 38 Create an array using three of the physical drives, leaving the fourth as a hot-spare drive. Then, create a logical drive within that array. The data is striped across the drives, creating blocks. Notice that the storage of the data parity (denoted by ) also is striped, and it shifts from drive to drive.
Page 39 Like RAID level-5, this RAID level stripes data and parity across all of the drives in the array. When an array is assigned RAID level-5E, the capacity of the logical drive is reduced by the capacity of two physical drives in the array (that is, one for parity and one for the spare).
Page 40 The operating system uses the spanned array logical drive the same as a regular array logical drive. Note: RAID level-x0 is only available on the IBM ServeRAID-4 Ultra160 SCSI controller. RAID level-x0 requires a minimum of two drives and supports a maximum of 60 drives.
Page 41 Then, create a spanned array 1 1 1 (labeled as 1) that spans the three arrays. A sub-logical drive is created within each array (A, B, and C). Then, the data is striped across the physical drives in the array, creating blocks. Notice that, in each array, the data on the drive on the right is a copy of the drive on the...

Selecting a RAID level and performance tuning When selecting a RAID level for your system, consider the following: RAID level Data Hard disk drive Read Write Built-in spare redundancy capacity utilization performance performance drive RAID level-0 100% Superior Superior RAID level-1 Very high Very high RAID level-1E...
Page 43 Logical drive-state descriptions The following table provides descriptions of the valid logical drive states. Drive state Meaning Blocked During a rebuild operation, the ServeRAID controller sets the state of any RAID level-0 logical drives associated with a failed array to the blocked state; then, it reconstructs the data that was stored in RAID level-1, RAID level-1E, RAID level-5 and RAID level-5E logical drives.

Leaving the IBM ServeRAID Support CD in the CD-ROM drive, shut down and restart the server. Configuring the ServeRAID controller This section provides information about starting and using the ServeRAID Manager program.
Page 47 To start the ServeRAID Manager program, do the following: 1. Turn on the server; then, insert the IBM ServeRAID Support CD (or the CD that contains the ServeRAID Manager program that came with your server) into the CD-ROM drive.
Page 48 Figure 8. Configuration mode window Note: (UnixWare only) When installed on UnixWare, the ServeRAID Manager program might list the installed ServeRAID controllers in a different order than the ServeRAID Manager program in startable-CD mode. To identify a specific controller, refer to its physical slot number. Follow the instructions in the right panel to create logical drives on your ServeRAID controller.

Continue with one of the following: v “Using Configuration mode”. v “Using Information mode” on page 39. Using Configuration mode You can use Configuration mode to create up to eight independent disk arrays for each ServeRAID controller.
Page 50 Attention: The new controller stripe-unit size is set at the factory to 8 KB. If you need to change this setting, you must change the stripe-unit size before you store data in the logical drives. After you store data in the logical drives, you cannot change the stripe-unit size without destroying data in the logical drives.
Page 51 Figure 10. Configuration summary window Notes: a. Some operating systems have size limitations for logical drives. Before you save the configuration, verify that the size of the logical drive is appropriate for your operating system. See your operating-system documentation for more detailed information.

Page 55 b. Some operating systems have size limitations for logical drives. Before you save the configuration, verify that the size of the logical drive is appropriate for your operating system. See your operating-system documentation for more detailed information. c. Typically, the first logical drive defined on the first ServeRAID controller found by system BIOS during startup will be your startup (boot) drive.

The configuration is saved in the ServeRAID controller and on the physical drives. 17. If you have multiple controllers, for each controller repeat steps 1 on page 34 through step 16.
Page 57 Using Information mode You can use Information mode to view the configuration information of ServeRAID controllers, arrays, logical drives, hot-spare drives, and physical drives that make up your ServeRAID subsystem (see Figure 9 on page 31).

Note: The cables to the drive enclosures must not be attached when you start the server. 1. Insert the IBM ServeRAID Support CD (or the configuration CD that was included with your server) into the CD-ROM drive; then, turn on the server.
Page 63 This point is especially important if the Windows NT or Windows 2000 system startup drive is attached to the IBM ServeRAID controller.

On Server A, run the utility SETUP.EXE program from the IBM ServeRAID Windows NT Cluster Solution diskette or IBM ServeRAID Support CD and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Page 128 Refer to the Microsoft Cluster Solution Administrator’s Guide for more information. 12. Install the latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack. Note: If you installed Service Pack 4 or later previously, you must reinstall it now. You can now move the shared disk resources manually using the Microsoft Cluster Administrator program or automatically during failover.
Page 129 1. On the server owning the newly created logical drive, run Cluster Administration program and open a connection to the installed cluster. 2. To create the ServeRAID disk resource in an existing group, ensure that the cluster server that owns the shared logical disk drive is the owner of that group. If the cluster server is not the owner of the group, use Move Group to make this cluster server the owner of the group where you will create the ServeRAID disk resource.
