4 For proper RAIDIX 4.6 work with SATA-controller, it is recommended to select «AHCI» controller mode in BIOS. For detailed information, see your motherboard manual. Copyright RAIDIX,

5 BIOS windows and operations may insignificantly differ from those described here depending on features of your system. Figure 1 - Specify the Boot Device Copyright RAIDIX,

28 In case you are using LSI, and do the following: Use lsiutil and option 1. Identify firmware, BIOS, and/or FCode to display the current active firmware version. To update the firmware, use lsiutil and option 2. Download firmware to download firmware. After firmware is updated, use lsiutil and option 99: Reset port to reset the adapter. The version of firmware for LSI SAS must be IT (IT Mode) Copyright RAIDIX,

30 Learn the following SAS terminology: SAS adapter includes one or more ports. Each port contains one or more Phys. Wide Port is configured if there are more than one Phy in the port. Connections are made between Phys but addressed to ports. Copyright RAIDIX,

31 IP address Make sure that cookies are enabled in your browser In order to define which port was assigned as Primary, in the console type the command rdcli network show. To get the assigned IP, use the command rdcli network interface show. To change the assigned IP address for system management, see section «Setting Up Network Interfaces Parameters» in RAIDIX 4.6 Administrator Guide. Figure 34 Login window Copyright RAIDIX,

32 Figure 35 License page after dual-controller license file was added rdcli system user create l <value> p <value> la <value> You can set up license by using CLI. Commands that you can use to set up and renew the license are described in the RAIDIX 4.6 Administrator's Guide. Appendix A Command Console Interface Features and Syntax. Copyright RAIDIX,

33 After setting dual-controller mode, you can manage both nodes from the web interface of any one of them, following the links to the remote node. Figure 36 Setting up Heartbeat connection parameters Heartbeat IP address must be specified on both nodes from one subnet Copyright RAIDIX,

35 Figure 40 Adapters page Figure 41 Selecting Targets for Synchronization set up window Copyright RAIDIX,

36 The best way to set up the synchronization is the following: leave active InfiniBand connections only for synchronization and specify adapters with LinkUp status as targets for synchronization in the appropriate window (Figure 41). Only one subnet manager can run on each InfiniBand fabric, so the configuration steps should be performed only on one node. Figure 42 Start OpenSM service window Copyright RAIDIX,

37 Figure 43 Enabling iscsi Figure 44 Targets for synchronization window If desired IP address of the port is not on the list, verify that network settings of the remote node are correct. To check the network configuration, in the main menu go to the System and move to the Network page. Network settings are displayed in the remote node interface. Copyright RAIDIX,

38 You can set up synchronization by doing the follow: make connections through SAS active only for synchronization, define adapters that have Up status for the port connection and select them as targets for synchronization in the corresponding window. Copyright RAIDIX,
