|
|
I am tring to setup a pratice server. I have an adaptec 7890 raid controller. It has 6 HD's. 4 are 4GB 2 are 8GB's. I would like to setup a raid but I do not have the software to do this. I know I can mirror via SBS but I want to setup through the scsi card. How can I do this. I have SBS Standard edition. I am learning server so please go easy. Thanks for all the help.

Press Ctrl+A when the Adaptec RAID controller BIOS message appears during boot to start SMOR.
But maybe your problem is that you do not know the right name of your controller. Should be something like: Adaptec SCSI RAID 2000S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2005S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2010S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2015S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2020ZCR Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2110S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2130SLP Adaptec SCSI RAID 2200S Adaptec SCSI RAID 2230SLP Adaptec SCSI RAID 3200S Adaptec SCSI RAID 3210S Adaptec SCSI RAID 3400S Adaptec SCSI RAID 3410S Adaptec SCSI RAID 5400S
and not Adaptec 7890 That is only the number of the ic on your card. Cards that use the 7890 Chip are the AHA2940U2W or the AHA-3940UW. Both are no Hardware-RAID controllers. So for these cards you have to do Software-Raid via SBS.
