Save/Restore RAID Configuration Data
The item allows the configuration information on the disk array system to be saved or restored from the floppy disk.
– Save Disk Array Configuration Data
The configuration information on the disk array controller is saved into the floppy disk. If you set or change
RAID, always use this function to save the configuration information into a floppy disk.
– Restore Disk Array Configuration Data
The configuration information saved in a floppy disk is restored to NVRAM and hard disk on the disk array
controller.
If the configuration information is broken or changed by mistake, restore the configuration information.
When the defected disk array controller is replaced, the configuration information on the hard disk must be
saved into the disk array controller.
However, if the configuration information on the new disk array controller is saved into a hard disk, use this
function to restore the configuration information.
IMPORTANT: Some Disk Array Controllers do not support this function. In that case, this menu
will not be shown.
Off-line Maintenance Utility
Off-line Maintenance Utility is an operating system-independent maintenance program that performs preventive
maintenance and error analysis for your server. See Chapter 8 or online help for details.
System Diagnostics
Executes various tests on the server system to check if the server functions are normal and if the connection between
the server and additional board is normal. After the System Diagnostics is executed, a system check program
assigned to each model starts. See Chapter 7 for details.
Create Support Disk
EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM contains a number of device drivers and utilities that you can put on floppy disks
and load onto your system.
Using this menu creates a support disk by copying from the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM. If your system has the
Windows operating system, you may find it more convenient to use EXPRESSBUILDER for Windows-based to
make support disks
Write the displayed title on the floppy disk label, which is useful for management in the future. Customers have to
provide a floppy disk to create a support disk.
