Step
4: Configure disks
Follow these steps to configure the disks on a Lotus Foundations
server:
1. From
the main WebConfig Page, select the Status link on the left side.
The Disk Status section in the Services Status table displays
that the disks have not been configured. You have two options for disk
configuration:
- RAID (no backup) - configures all disks into a RAID array
- RAID plus idb (backup) - configures all except the last
disk into a RAID array and configures the last disk as the backup disk.
Figure 12. Disk status options displayed in the
WebConfig console
2. Click
the appropriate link to configure the disks.
- For example, if you have two disks, the Disk Status
section displays "The main disk is not configured. You can configure
disks #1, #2 all in a RAID or disk #1 as a standalone disk and #2 as an
idb backup disk." If you have three disks, the Disk Status
section displays "The main disk is not configured. You can configure
disks #1, #2. #3 all in a RAID or disk #1.#2 in a RAID and disk #3 as an
idb backup disk." A Lotus Foundations server could have up to 6 drives,
and a third-party server could potentially have more.
- For a RAID configuration, click All in a RAID.
If you want to enable idb backup, click Disk #2 as an idb backup disk.
- If you select a RAID configuration, then the RAID array
begins to rebuild. This process does not noticeably affect the performance
of Lotus Foundations.

Lotus
Foundations Start Administration Guide.
Reboot
When the disks have been configured, you need to follow
these steps:
1. Shut
down the server.
2. Remove
the CD and then power the server back on.
The server should now boot directly from the configured
disks.
