Chapter 9: Managing Your Storage Space 61
About the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
The Adaptec RAID Configuration (ARC) utility is a BIOS-based utility that you can use to
create and manage controllers, disk drives and other devices, and arrays. The ARC utility
comprises these tools:
Array Configuration Utility (ACU)—For creating and managing arrays, and initializing
and rescanning disk drives. (ACU for DOS is also available. See page 94.)
SerialSelect—For modifying your controller and disk drive settings.
Disk Utilities—For formatting or verifying disk drives.
The ARC utility is included in your controller’s BIOS. For more information, see Using the
Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility on page 83.
Note:
The ARC utility is primarily intended for preoperating system installation configuration.
About the Adaptec Flash Utility
The Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) is a text-based DOS utility that you can use to update, save, or
verify your RAID controller’s firmware BIOS and Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM).
Caution:
Although the AFU contains safeguards to prevent you from accidentally damaging
your RAID controller’s flash contents, it is still important to use the AFU carefully and
correctly to avoid rendering your RAID controller inoperable.Adaptec recommends that only
advanced users familiar with working in DOS use the AFU. You can also use Adaptec
Storage Manager to update the controller firmware/BIOS. See the Adaptec Storage
Manager User’s Guide for more information.
Which Utility Should I Use?
To create a bootable array, Adaptec recommends that you use the BIOS-based ACU (See
Using
the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
on page 83).
For all subsequent storage management tasks, Adaptec recommends that you install and use
Adaptec Storage Manager (see page 60). As a full-featured software application with a
graphical user interface, it is the easiest to use and offers the widest range of management
functions.
