3ware BIOS Manager (3BM) Introduction
54 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card Software User Guide, Version 10.0
Working in the 3BM Screens
The main 3BM screen (Figure 24) shows the current configuration for the
drives attached to your controller, and a list of any available drives. Unusable
and incomplete drives are also shown.
Figure 24. 3BM Main Display
You will see one or more of the following sections in the main 3BM screen:
•
Available Drives lists any unconfigured drives that are not associated
with an array, and hot spares. If this section does not appear, there are no
available drives.
Direct Attached lists the drives directly attached to the controller.
Enclosure lists the drives attached through an enclosure.
•
Exportable Units lists the existing units and the drives contained in each
unit. These are the units that will be available to the operating system
when you boot your computer. If this section does not appear, no units
have been configured.
If you have more than one unit, the boot unit is the one at the top of the
list. (You can change the order by highlighting a unit and pressing the
PgUp or PgDn key.)
•
Unusable Arrays lists any RAID configuration missing too many drives
to construct the unit. For example, a RAID 5 unit with two or more drives
missing would appear in this list.
•
Incomplete Drives and Others lists drives that are remaining from a unit
with missing or failed drives and drives that are not usable.
When some of the drives are remaining from a unit, you can power down
and add the missing drives to complete the unit. To use drives that are
listed here in other units, you must first delete them. For more
information, see “Deleting a Unit” on page 128.
