HP FastRAID

Installation and Configuration Guide

2 English English

Introduction

HP FastRAID uses RAID technology to accelerate the performance of

your PC’s hard drives. Rather than focusing on data protection, as with

server-based RAID technologies, HP FastRAID brings top performance

to your computer.

With HP FastRAID

Pre-Installed on Your

PC Workstation

With HP FastRAID already installed on your PC Workstation, you will

receive the following components:

•Windows NT installation CD-ROM & 3 Setup diskettes,

•a Windows NT Service Pack CD-ROM, and

•an HP Kayak Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM.

To find out more about configuring HP FastRAID, refer to “Configuring

HP FastRAID” on page 4.

HP FastRAID

Accessory Kit

The HP FastRAID Accessory Kit provides the components necessary to

implement FastRAID on suitably equipped PCs or PC Workstations.

The HP FastRAID accessory kit includes the following components:

•an Adaptec®ARO-1130 PCI RAIDportTM adapter,

•CI/OTM Array Management software (3 HP RAID Device Manager

diskettes),

•an ArrayConfig utility diskette, and

•an Array 1000 Family manager drivers diskette

You will also need the Windows NT installation CD-ROM & Setup

diskettes, and the Windows NT Service Pack CD-ROM that came with

your XU or XW PC Workstation.

To find out how to install and configure HP FastRAID, refer to

“Installing HP FastRAID” on page 3, and “Configuring HP FastRAID” on

page 4.

NOTE The HP FastRAID Accessory Kit is intended for use only with HP Kayak

XU and XW PC Workstations equipped with a RAIDport connector

running Windows NT 4.0.

English English 3

Installing HP FastRAID

To install the Adaptec®ARO-1130 accessory in your PC, follow the

step-by-step instructions below.

1Remove the computer’s cover. Refer to the User’s Guide that came

with your PC or PC Workstation, if necessary.

WARNING For your safety, never remove the computer’s cover without first

removing the power cord and any connection to a telecommunications

network. Always replace the cover before switching on the computer.

2Locate the RAIDport slot on the PC Workstation’s system board.

Refer to the User’s Guide that came with your PC or PC

Workstation, if necessary.

3Unscrew and remove the slot cover. If the slot cover is hard to

remove, loosen the screws on the adjacent slots.

4Hold the adapter board horizontally by its “top” edge. Slide it into the

board guide of the RAIDport socket. Do not bend the board.

5Align the board’s connector with the slot’s socket. Firmly press the

board into the socket. Make sure that the board’s connector is fully

seated in the socket and does not touch components on other

boards.

6Secure the board by replacing the slot cover screw. If you loosened

the screws on adjacent slots, tighten them.

7Replace the cover and connect all cables and power cords.

Your PC, and the location

of its accessory board

slots, may be different to

the one shown here.

Configuring HP FastRAID

You can configure HP FastRAID to:

•Create a new array, and

•Manage existing arrays on your system’s hard disk drives.

Before you create a new array, you may need to do the following:

With FastRAID

Pre-installed

1Create an ArrayConfig bootable utility diskette from the HP Kayak

XU/XW PC Workstation Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM.

aInsert the Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive

and a blank, formatted diskette into the floppy disk drive.

bUse Explorer to locate either the \FASTRAID\ARCONFIG\ o

r t

\FASTRAID\ArcfgDRV\ directory on the Drivers and Utilities

CD-ROM.

cDouble click on the file DISKIMG.BAT.

...

The ArrayConfig bootable utility diskette has been created.

2Create an Array 1000 Family driver diskette from the HP Kayak

XU/XW PC Workstation Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM.

aInsert the Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive

and a blank, formatted diskette into the floppy disk drive.

bUse Explorer to locate the \FASTRAID\DRIVERS\ directory on

the Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM.

cCopy all the files and subdirectories in this directory to drive A:\.

...

Ensure that the files DISK1 and TXTSETUP.OEMand the

directory \WINNT containing the files CDA1000.SYS and

OEMSETUP.INF,

,,, have been successfully copied.

The Array 1000 Family driver diskette has been created.

English English 5

All HP FastRAID Users 1Back up any existing data that you wish to save on your hard disk

drives. Once the drives have been configured and the operating

system re-installed, you can restore your backed up data.

2Disable or remove any non-SCSI disks on your computer before

running the ArrayConfig utility, or ensure that the Array 1000

adapter is set to the highest priority in the Setup program

(Boot>Boot Order).

3Some HP FastRAID configurations require two hard drives. If you

need to install an additional drive, we strongly recommend that you

select an drive that matches the original drive in both capacity and

performance (consult an authorized HP dealer for the appropriate

HP accessory drive). HP does not provide support for this accessory

when used with drives other than HP accessory drives.

4Make sure that when you install a new drive, you assign the drive a

unique SCSI ID. This can be checked through the SCSISelect Utility

by selecting SCSI Disk Utilities.

Creating a New Array

You can create a new array using either of the following options.

Express Setup - use this if you want to create an array (up to two

drives) quickly and easily. ArrayConfig asks you a few simple

questions and uses your answers to create the kind of array that best

meets your needs. This process is similar to the “Wizards” used in

many applications. You do not need to know the technical details of

how arrays are configured. Refer to “Using Express Setup” on page 6.

Custom Setup - this option allows advanced users to create arrays

(with more than two drives) with customized configurations. You

will need to know more technical details about how arrays are

configured to benefit from this option. Refer to “Using Custom

Setup” on page 11.

6 English English

Using Express Setup

To create an array using Express Setup, you will need to do the

following:

1Select the ArrayConfig menu option by pressing the hot key —the

letter that appears in a different color. (The hot key letters are

underlined in the following instructions). You can also press the ↑

and ↓keys until the option is highlighted and then press .

2Insert the ArrayConfig utility disk in drive A and reboot your

computer. The ArrayConfig utility will start automatically.

3Read the text that appears on the initial ArrayConfig screens. Press

any key to view the next screen, or press to return to the

previous screen.

4When you see the Setup Type Selection Menu, select Express Setup.

5When the next screen appears, select the type of array you want to

create:

•Select Optimized for Performance if you want the fastest possible data

input and output from the new array. This type of array does not

have special data protection features, however.

•Select Optimized for Data Protection if your main concern is to protect

the files on the array from disk failure. This type of array

safeguards files in the array even if one of the array disks fails. To

use this option, two disk drives are required.

6At the prompt, enter the number of drives to use in the array. You

can create either a one- or two-drive array with the Express Setup.

NOTE When you select a single hard drive for RAID 0, the drive will be striped

and optimized using the ARO-1130’s cache memory, but no actual array

will be created. A single drive optimized in this way, although

significantly faster, will not provide the same level of performance as a

two-drive RAID 0 array.

English English 7

7When the next menu appears, select the type of application that you

will run on your computer. (Select Other Applications if you are not sure

what type of application you will use.) ArrayConfig will use your

answer to create the best array configuration for your applications.

8When the next menu appears, select a boot order for the new array.

•Select Disk Array will be Boot Drive if you want your computer to boot

from the new array. If you selected Optimized for Data Protection in

Step 4, booting from an array safeguards the information on your

boot drive.

•Select Disk Array will not be a Boot Drive if you do not want your

computer to boot from the new array. (If you only have one array,

it will automatically be the boot drive.)

9When you have finished all these menu selections, wait while

ArrayConfig creates the array. This may take up to 30 minutes,

especially if the disk drives are large.

A message appears when the array has been created. An error

message appears if the ArrayConfig encounters some problems (for

example, an array already exits). If this happens, run ArrayConfig

again and use the Custom Setup option.

10 Press until you’re back at the Main Menu, and exit ArrayConfig.

Installing Windows

NT 4.0

11 Insert the Windows NT setup disk #1 and restart your PC

Workstation.

NOTE Do not boot from the Windows NT CD-ROM as the hard drive will not be

detected.

12 When prompted, insert Windows NT Setup Disk 2 and press

13 From the Welcome to Setup screen, press to continue

installing Windows NT.

14 Press to have Setup detect the mass storage devices on

your computer.

15 At the prompt, insert Setup Disk 3 and press .
