Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S Software User’s Guide

The Adaptec SCSI RAID Controller menu appears, presenting the

following options:

■ Array Configuration Utility

■ SCSISelect Utility

■ Disk Utilities

To select an option from this menu or from any of the menus

within ARC, move the cursor to the option with the Up/Down

arrow keys and press Enter. In some cases, selecting an option

displays another menu. You can return to the previous menu at

any time by pressing Esc.

The following sections discuss each of these menu options.

Using the Array Configuration Utility

The Array Configuration Utility (ACU) enables you to manage,

create, and delete arrays from the controller’s BIOS. You can also

initialize and rescan drives.

You can use the ACU to create a bootable array for the system. We

recommend that you configure the system to boot from an array

instead of from a single disk to take advantage of the redundancy

and performance features of arrays. For details on creating a

bootable array, see Deleting Arrays on page 2-4.

Note: If you are changing the configuration of a system that is

already in use on a network, log all users off the system and

shut it down in an orderly manner before you start the ACU.

Managing Arrays

Use the Manage Arrays option to view array properties and

members, make an array the boot array, manage failover

assignments, and delete arrays. The following sections describe

these operations in greater detail.

Viewing Array Properties

To view the properties of an existing array:

1 At the BIOS prompt, press Ctrl+A.
