Appendix C: Using the ICP RAID Configuration Utility ● 84

Introduction to the ICP RAID Configuration Utility

The ICP RAID Configuration utility comprises these tools:

● The Array Configuration Utility (ACU)—For creating and managing arrays, and

initializing and rescanning disk drives (see page 84).

Note:

Also available—ACU for DOS. See page 92.

● A -Select Utility—SerialSelect, SATASelect, or SCSISelect, for modifying your controller

and disk drive settings (see page 86).

● Disk Utilities—For formatting or verifying disk drives (see page 90).

Running the ICP RAID Configuration Utility

If your ICP controller is connected to a RAID enclosure, power on your enclosure (or

enclosures) before you power on your computer.

Start or restart your computer. When prompted, press Ctrl+A.

During boot up, if your system has insufficient memory the following message will display.

“ICP RAID Configuration Utility will load after, system initialization. Please wait... Or press

<Enter> Key to attempt loading the utility forcibly [Generally, not recommended]”

Note:

The first time you power on your computer after you install a new controller, the BIOS

may display a configuration that doesn’t match your system’s configuration. This is normal.

Navigating the ICP RAID Configuration Utility

All the tools within the ICP RAID Configuration utility are menu-based and instructions for

completing tasks appear on-screen. Menus can be navigated using the arrows, Enter, Esc, and

other keys on your keyboard.

Using the ACU to Create and Manage Arrays

To open the ACU, start the

ICP RAID Configuration

utility (see page 84).

If you have more than

one controller, select your controller, then press Enter. Select Array Configuration Utility, 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 main ACU 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 85 for more

information.)

Use the Array Properties menu to modify the array’s RAID level, size, name, stripe size, and

caching settings.

Note:

For more information about RAID levels and using disk drives to create arrays, see

Choosing a RAID Level on page 30.
