•

‘‘Setting Up RAID Arrays”

•

‘‘Removing and Replacing Disks”

•

‘‘Administering RAID Arrays”

At system startup, the operating system autoprobes hardware for legacy devices and

attached devices that are not already configured for use on the system. Often, the

device is recognized and automatically supported, requiring no direct configuration.

While the operating system may recognize legacy devices, Express5800/ftServer

System Software for the Linux Operating System (Express Builder) does not support

them as fault-tolerant devices. To be supported as a fault-tolerant device, a device

must have a special hardened driver that supports surprise removal and fault

management by Express Builder

Some system components, such as data storage, may require additional configuration.

The following sections discuss them, as well as some of the automated features of the

ftServer system that support fault-tolerant operation and ease system administration.
