Integrated HP NetRAID Controller

The integrated HP NetRAID controller on the HP NetServer LH 3 and LH 3r
provides an integral disk array storage system. The controller uses the PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) standard to control data transfers on one or
two SCSI channels.
The integrated HP NetRAID controller supports the following network operating
systems:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Novell NetWare 3.2, 4.11, 4.11 SMP, and SFTIII 4.11

Features of the Integrated HP NetRAID Controller

The integrated HP NetRAID controller lets you link multiple hard disk drives
together and write data across them as if they were one large drive. You can
configure your linked drives in a RAID (redundant array of independent disks)
subsystem.

Channels and Devices

The integrated HP NetRAID controller supports one or two channels as
configured by the user. Each of the two integrated Symbios SCSI controllers on
the HP NetServer LH 3/LH 3r can be configured as either a RAID or a SCSI
channel. The factory default configuration is:
SCSI A: integrated HP NetRAID Channel 0
SCSI B: integrated SCSI
You have complete freedom to change these defaults and to enable both channels
for use with HP NetRAID.
