Supported Operating Systems for the RAID Array 3000

You have purchased support for the Windows NT operating system version 4.0 with

Service pack 6a and Windows 2000 operating system. The supported host adapter is the

SWXA3-BD differential PCI host adapter.

Supported Configurations

Your RAID Array 3000 contains a single dual-ported controller. This allows support for

eight SCSI logical units (LUNs) per port, or a total of 16 LUNs per controller. A second

controller (DS-HSZ22-AA) can be added for redundancy and performance. The

minimum version of controller firmware for both controllers is D11U. The controller

firmware contained on the CD-ROM is D11X (in the \firmware directory) that is part of

this kit. If the controller is running an earlier revision of firmware (D10I, D11O, D11U,

or D11V), you will need to upgrade the firmware prior to making the RAID Array 3000

operational.

You can create a Windows NT boot partition on the RAID Array 3000 storage

subsystem. The Windows NT boot partition can be at most 4 GB in size. Ensure that the

host adapter is configured to default parameters (BIOS enable, wide negotiation, >1 GB

translation).

Table 1 lists the minimum system requirements need for the RAID Array 3000.

Table 1 Minimum System Requirements

Host Feature Requirements

Platform X-86 P200 System. 64MB RAM, 10 MB Disk Space

Operating System Windows NT 4.0 SP4 ,Windows 2000 for SWCC client; Windows

NT 4.0 SP6a ,Windows 2000 SP1 for SWCC Agent

Controller Compatibility The HSZ22 controller running operating firmware, version D11X.

Adapter Compatibility DG-SWXA3-BD

The StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC) version 2.2 is the only configuration

utility that will work with your RAID Array 3000. Command Console version 2.2

sometimes referred to as Client, runs on Windows NT 4.0 SP4, and Windows 2000.

Required Driver Revisions

HSZDISK

HSZDISK.SYS is a class driver required for all RAID Array 3000 Windows NT

configurations. It is designed to enhance the error recovery features built into your

Compaq RAID system, and to provide more robust operation than the native Windows

NT SCSI disk class driver. HSZDISK.SYS only affects DIGITAL RAID devices. Other

SCSI disk drives in your system continue to be serviced by the native SCSIDISK.SYS

class driver. The drivers included in the CD-ROM labeled Compaq StorageWorks

RA3000 Solution Software version 1.3 for Windows NT. The install process will

automatically determine if you are working in Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000.

RAID Array 3000 Operating Constraints

Controller

Always operate Your RAID Array 3000 with the UPS-to-Pedestal Serial Cable

connected.

The UPS serial cable must be connected at all times. This cable is used to communicate a

power failure to the controller. When the controller senses a power failure, it

automatically saves your data to disk. The purpose of the UPS is to keep your system

running until the controller accomplishes its task of saving cache data to disk.

Wait until the Disk Drive Fault Indicator Clears before using the Disk.

Disk drive fault LED clearing takes approximately two minutes. Do not attempt to use a

disk drive until its fault indicator turns off.

Changing the RAID Array Configuration

Note

To safe guard critical data backup your system using

normal backup procedures before altering device

partitions. Do not alter partitions that contain

important data.

When making changes to an existing RAID Array configuration, any existing disk

partitions to be changed (or removed) must first be deleted using the Windows NT

Administrator. After they have been deleted, you may use the StorageWorks RAID Array

3000 Storage Subsystem Command Console Client to create new virtual disks. (Refer to

the Command Console User’s Guide and on-line help to make changes).
