This document contains the following sections:



1.  OVERVIEW

2.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

3.  ENTERING THE CONFIGURATION UTILITY USER INTERFACE

4.  RAID CONFIGURATION UTILITY USAGE





************************************************************

* 1.  OVERVIEW

************************************************************



The RAID Configuration utility is an executable supported

for MS-DOS* and Microsoft* Windows* with capabilities similar 

to the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM. 

It provides customers with the ability to create,

delete, and manage any RAID volumes on a system from within 

DOS or Windows environment. 

For ease of use, the utility has command line

parameters that make it possible to perform these functions

through the use of DOS scripts or shell commands. 





************************************************************

* 2.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

************************************************************



1. The system must contain an Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor 

    and one of the following Intel products:



        - Intel(R) ICH9M-E I/O Controller Hub

        - Intel(R) ICH10R I/O Controller Hub



2.  The system must support one of the following operating

    systems:

    - MS-DOS*

    - Microsoft* Windows* XP Home Edition, 

    - Microsoft* Windows* XP Professional,

2.  To enter the User Interface, run Raidcfg.exe with no command line parameters.

3.  For commandline mode, run Raidcfg.exe with appropriate command line parameters.



3.2. RaidCfg32 executable for Microsoft* Windows*

Use the following steps to run Raidcfg32:

1.  Boot the system to Windows.

2.  Run Raidcfg32.exe with appropriate command line parameters.

/Sync  Set sync type for 'Recovery' volume. Only valid with /IRRT.

/M     Specify the port number of the Master disk for 'Recovery' volume. Only 

       valid with /IRRT.



4.2 RaidCfg32 Utility Usage



RaidCfg32.exe [/?] [/Y] [/Q] [/RD] [/SPARE:drive] [/C:vol_name] [/SS:strip_size]

              [/L:raid_level] [/S:vol_size] [/DS:disk_ports] [/D:vol_name] [/X]

/?      Displays Help Screen.  Other options ignored.

/Y      Suppress any user input. Used with options /C, /D, /X, & /F.

/Q      Quiet mode / No output. Should not be used with status commands. 

        COMMANDS - Only one at a time.

/RD     Inquire if the raid driver is running.

/SPARE  Set a drive to be a spare.

/C      Create a volume with the specified name. 

        /S, /DS, /SS, & /L can be specified along with /C.

/SS     Specify strip size in KB.  Only valid with /C.

        List should be delimited by spaces.

/D      Delete Volume with specified name.

/X      Remove metadata from all disks. Selecting a single disk with 

        the /DS option will delete the metadata from all volume members.

/I      Display All Drive/Volume/Array Information.  /P can be specified.

/P      Pause display between sections. Only valid with /I.

/ST     Display Volume/RAID/Disk Status.

        Port,Model,SerialNumber,FirmwareVersion,Array,Status,Size,Free,Type.

        

        The "Size" value represents the number of logical blocks of the disk.  Each

        logical block is 512 bytes, regardless of the Physical Sector Size of the disk 

        (which can be 512 bytes or 1024 bytes).

        Example of calculation:

        	Size = 156301488 logical blocks.  

        	156301488 logical blocks * (512 bytes / logical block) = 80026361856 bytes

        	80026361856 bytes * (1 KB / 1024 bytes) * (1 MB / 1024 KB) * ( 1GB / 1024 MB) = 74.53 GB

        

           	Size = 312581808 logical blocks.  

           	156301488 logical blocks * (512 bytes / logical block) = 160041885696 bytes

        	160041885696 bytes * (1 KB / 1024 bytes) * (1 MB / 1024 KB) * ( 1GB / 1024 MB) = 149.1 GB

   

/STV    Display delimited Volume Status 

        Index,Level,StripSize,Size,Status,Bootable,Array,Name.

/F      Repair failed RAID0 Volume.

/IRRT   Create a recovery volume. Only valid with /C. 

/Sync   Set sync type for 'Recovery' volume. Only valid with /IRRT.

/M      Specify the port number of the Master disk for 'Recovery' volume. Only 

        valid with /IRRT.
