4.18 Redundant ControllerFor SCSI-to-SCSI controllers, RAIDWatch Manager is capable of configuring some aspects of redundant controller implementation.
Under the Configuration window, choose the Controller tab, the Operation sub-tab, and the Redundant sub-sub-tab. From this window pane, you can set the following redundant controller parameters:
- Controller Unique Identifier: must be any value between 1 and 65535.
- Redundant Controller Configuration: from the drop-box, choose Disabled, Primary, Secondary, or AutoConfigure.
All other Primary and Secondary redundant controller features must be configured using the controller’s front panel. Please refer to your RAID controller instruction manual for details.
- Redundant Controller Channel: The is a hardware-dependent function. Once the controller-to-controller negotiation is completed, this drop-box will display the interface used for redundant communications. The newer line of RAID controllers does not allow a switch between SCSI and RS-232.
