ClearPath IX Systems Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition (ES2045R)
on enabling 4GB RAM Tuning (4GT), see the Windows NT Server/E
Administrator’s Guide. You can find this guide in two places: in
\Support\Books\NTSEAdm.hlp and in the readme.doc file in the root
directory of the Windows NT Server/E Base CD.
23. Click OK.
A window appears displaying Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition
Installer.
24. Clear the check box “Show this installer next time you start Windows NT.”
25. Click Continue, then click Exit.
A prompt asks if you are sure.
26. Click Yes.
Continue by configuring the hosts file (7.1.3).
5.3. Configuring the RAID Controller
Configure the RAID disk controller for RAID level 1 (mirroring) for two disks units.
Sites can reconfigure a different RAID level following hardware RFU if desired. For
detailed information see the MegaRAID and MegaRAID Ultra PCI SCSI Disk Array
Controller User’s Guide.
Notes:
• Switch the monitor concentrator to the Intel node position before beginning (see
2.5.2).
• If you are performing a full installation on a system that was preloaded, do not
format the RAID disk. Instead, use the DAC BIOS utility to initialize the RAID
volume before you reload the operating system. Formatting the disk makes the drive
unrecognizable to the software.
• In step 2, you must press Ctrl-M within a few seconds to enter the RAID controller
configuration procedure, otherwise the normal boot procedure continues.
Take the following steps to run the RAID controller configuration utility:
1. Power on or reboot the Intel node.
Several start-up messages appear including a prompt to press Ctrl-M as follows:
MEGARAID ULTRA PCI ADAPTER BIOS VERSION x.xx
Copyright(c) AMERICAN MEGATRENDS INC.
Host Adapter-1 Firmware Version x.xx DRAM size xxx MB
1 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter
1 Logical Drives handled by BIOS
>
2. Press Ctrl-M to start the RAID BIOS configuration utility.
