Replacing a Failed Hard Disk on a FastRAID System

On HP Kayak XU Series 0301 and 0303,

and XW Series U3 and W3 PC Workstations

I have a FastRAID system that includes two hard disk drives.
However, one of the hard disk drives needs to be replaced. How
do I reconfigure the FastRAID I/O subsystem?
You will have to rebuild the Array and reinstall the FastRAID
drivers. To do this, however, the ArrayConfig program and HP
FastRAID drivers must be copied onto floppy disks.
Revisions of software between first generation of the FastRAID
board and the new generation (FastRAID2) are not compatible.
Refer to page 6
With the second generation of the FastRAID board (FastRAID2), new
software is available and can only be used. This software is not compatible
with any previous versions of the FastRAID board.
To reconfigure the new hard disk drive, proceed as follows:
From another PC, you have to create two bootable floppy disks. To do
1
this, copy the following directories from the Kayak Drivers and Docu-
mentation CD-ROM to the floppy disks:
ArrayConfig. You need this to rebuild the arrays.
a
FastRAID driver. You need this to install the Adaptec Array1000
b
drivers.
More information concerning configuring or obtaining drivers can
be obtained from the HP World Wide Web site:

Insert the ArrayConfig floppy disk in the PC that has the new hard
2
disk drive and boot the computer. Follow the instructions that appear
on the screen. If you need any assistance on creating an Array, refer
to the User's Guide.
When the disk array has been rebuilt, boot from the Windows NT 4.0
3
floppy disks. When requested, specify additional devices, insert the
floppy disk containing the Array1000 drivers, and follow the
instructions on the screen.
Do not boot from the Windows NT CD-ROM as the hard disk drive will not be
found.
