Viewing the Disk-Array Configuration

Viewing the Disk-Array Configuration

To view the current configuration:

1.  Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see 'Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program').
2.  Select View Configuration from the Main Menu,  then, press Enter. The current disk-array  configuration information appears on the screen.
3.  To see the stripe order (the channel and bay numbers  of the physical drives that make up the logical drives):
   1.  Press Enter. The stripe order will appear in a  separate window.
   2.  Press any key to return to the View  Configuration screen.

4.  Press Esc to return to the Main Menu.

Viewing the Drive Information: You can use the ServeRAID Configuration program to view the vendor ID, model number, serial number, and capacity of each hard disk drive attached to the ServeRAID controller.

You also can use this program to view information about the number and types of events that occurred. The Device Event Log, in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), collects event information for each hard disk drive attached to the ServeRAID controller.

To view the drive information:

1.  Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see 'Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program').
2.  Select Rebuild/Device Management from the Main  Menu, then, press Enter.
3.  Select Display Drive Information from the next  menu, then, press Enter.

    A screen similar to the following appears.
   

    
   
4.  Use the Up Arrow (  ) or Down Arrow (  ) key to highlight  the drives in the Array/Bay selection list.

    When you highlight the drive, the drive information appears as follows:

   •  Vendor ID displays the name of the manufacturer or vendor.
   •  Model/Product displays the 4-digit modelnumber, the 4-digit  product number, the 2-digit ROM code revision level, and the 2-digit RAM  code revision level.
   •  Serial Number displays the unit serial number of the device.
   •  Capacity displays the size of the device.
   •  Soft Event displays the number of SCSI Check Condition status  messages returned from the drive (except Unit Attention and SCSI parity events)  since the Device Event Log was last cleared.
   •  Hard Event displays the number of SCSI I/O processor events that  occurred on the drive since the Device Event Log was last cleared. It also indicates  if the drive exceeded the Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) threshold.

     Note:

     1.  If a PFA event is detected, it appears  beside the hard event information.
     2.  If the drive exceeded the PFA  threshold, back up the RAID level 0  logical drives. Then, replace the drive.

   •  Parity Event displays the number of parity  events that occurred on the SCSI bus since the  Device Event Log was last cleared.
   •  Misc Event displays the number of other events  (such as selection timeout, unexpected bus free,  or SCSI phase event) that occurred on the drive  since the Device Event Log was last cleared.

5.  Press Esc to return to the Main Menu.
