HP Raid 1 ML Series
Hello
I'm completely inexperienced using Raid 1 on HP ML110 G3. I did follow HP's instructions on BIOS setting IDE to Raid. And then pressing F8 to configuring Raid 1. That was 'successful'. Upon boot these messages paint upon the screen: HP Embedded SATA RAID controller B2067 Press F8 Loading Configuration Port #00 149 GB Healthy Port #01 149 GB Healthy Array #0 Raid - 1 Raid 1 (Mirror) 148.88 GB Optimal 1 Logical Device(s) found Bios Found Windows 2000 Server initiates. Comment : Because of no usb boot support and no floppy drive I needed to create an ISO disk using Nlight to install Windows Server 2000. I don't know how to use Raid 1. With Admin Tools Under Disk Management I see only C: 148.88GB NTFS. I don't see the second drive. I download HP Storage Manager. This application reveals nothing that appears familiar. I do know that Raid 1 Mirror is installed, configured; but, I don't know how Raid 1 is functioning, working, how to interface with Raid. I don't know how to detect if I will have a drive failure ; and if there is a drive failure ; I'm needing advise what to do with Raid. Is there an application I should download that would allow user interaction, interfacing? Should I consider using Norton Ghost to duplicate, and protect the data? Thanks for any thoughts on this topic. John Marshall |
HP Raid 1 ML Series
If you have a mirror raid, then only a single disk will be shown within Win
Generally the raid configeration is accessed when booting the PC, usually a msg will be shown to press a specific key to access the raid utility. With your particular HP raid there maybe a raid utility accessible from within windows that allows you to test the raid & perform other actions, eg add a hotswap drive (The HP Storage Manager maybe?) you need to read any helpfile or visit HP support for any FAQ's on the utility BTW a mirror raid is not a replacement for any data backup "Parvardigar" wrote in message ...
