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 13. 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 Statussection
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.

For more information on disk configuration, refer to the
Lotus
Foundations Branch Office Administration Guide.
Reboot
Status updates for disk configuration are displayed in
the
Disk Status section of the Status page of WebConfig. A message
is displayed here when the disks configuration is complete. When the disks
have been configured, follow these steps:
1. Shut
down the server.
2.
For
third party hardware only: Remove the CD/DVD.
3. Power
the server on.
The server should now boot directly from the configured
disks.
