How to set up a RAID1 mirror with a drive which already has Windows installed

Page 6 of 10

r At this stage you can do either of two things :

– You can wait till the mirroring process completes, and once it has

completed continue on with the next step below.

– Or, once the mirroring process has reached 1%, you can turn OFF

your PC/server, reboot it, log into Windows, and continue using the

PC/Server. The mirroring process will continue in the background,

something you can monitor yourself through the Adaptec Storage

Manager software described in the next section.

r At the end of the process you will get the following message : “Building the

array is successfully completed”.

r Press any key to return to the Main Menu.

r Next, verify that everything is alright. Choose Manage Arrays, then press Enter

on your RAID 1 system (array), and then check that the Array Status shows as

OPTIMAL. If it does, you’re in business.

r Exit the Adaptec Configuration Utility and reboot your PC/server.

Putting the finishing touches

r Now that your PC/server is up and running with the safety of RAID 1 mirroring, you

will need to install the monitoring software which will enable you to monitor the

good running of your RAID system, or whether your PC/Server is successfully

building/rebuilding the RAID 1 mirroring system, etc....

r Locate the Adaptec Storage Manager CD, or download the software from

www.ATWDRIVERS.com. At the time of writing of this document the latest

version of Adaptec Storage Manager is version 5.10.17173 (23-Aug-2007).

r When you install the software you will be prompted to create an “Administrator”

username and password. Choose Direct Attached Storage and change the

default “Admin” username to Administrator and use the same password as

the Administrator password on your PC/server (to avoid forgetting it). Next,

document this username and password.
