systems. For more information about installing and using DMC, see the

Dell Management Console User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

Reinstalling the Operating System

The operating system is preinstalled on the DX Cluster Services Node. After a

multiple disk failure of the DX6a00 system RAID group, reinstall the

operating system:

1 Replace the failed disks.

2 Create a RAID 5 disk group across all disks of the DX Cluster Services

3 Reinstall the operating system. For more information on replacing the

drive, see "Recovering From Disk Failures" on page 33.

NOTE:

If the RAID group has not failed and you are reinstalling the operating

system, skip "Configuring and Managing RAID" on page 34.

The BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl><R>), is a storage management

application embedded on the PERC H700 card that configures and maintains

RAID disk groups and virtual disks. The BIOS Configuration Utility is

independent of the operating system and is available during system startup.

See the Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H700 and H800 User's

Guide at support.dell.com/manuals for specific instructions on the BIOS

Configuration Utility and virtual disk management.

Create a single RAID 5 group across all six internal drives. When creating the

RAID group, configure two virtual disks.

•

Set virtual disk 0 to 75 GB

•

Set virtual disk 1 to size of the remaining capacity
