Binding LUNs and RAID 5
The disks will need to be bound to LUNs using the Storage Utility before you can use the system.
- From the desktop, select the Storage Utility icon to launch the application.
- Select System from the View menu.
-
The AIC controller will display at the top of the tree.
Select Unbound to view the disks.
-
You will want to view the system information for each disk. You can view the vendor,
product ID, firmware, capacity, sector size, state and serial number. You will want to
check to make sure that the state of the disk is “Online” and you will want to make a note
of the serial number. To view disk information, select the disk from the tree. The disk
information will display in a window on the right side of the Storage Utility
application.
-
Select and right-click on the Unbound disk set and click
Bind. You will see the system offline error message. The Bind
window displays.
- From the Bind window, select RAID 5 as the Bind Type.
- Select the first 5 drives, click the right arrow button and click OK. The drives will bind to the first LUN. Note that the LEDs in the server chassis flash amber during this process. If the bind is created, the “New LUN has been created successfully” message appears.
- Follow the same procedure to bind the next 5 drives. Click OK. When you see the message, you will have to restart the server for your changes to take effect. Be sure to save any open files and close all programs before you restart the system.
- Close the Storage Utility application and restart the system.
- From the Toolsmenu, select Make File System. A confirmation message appears to let you know that the file system is being created.
- Once the system has finished creating the file system, you need to restart your system again.
