Apple RAID Software 1.1 Read Me
-------------------------------
IMPORTANT Be sure to review this entire document. It contains important information that supplements the Apple RAID Software Administrator's Guide. You may want to print this document for reference.
Locating the Apple RAID Software on Your Startup Disk
-----------------------------------------------------
The Apple RAID Software program is installed in the Apple Menu Items folder in the System Folder on the startup disk. The Apple RAID monitor program is installed in the Extensions folder in the System Folder on the startup disk. The Apple RAID Software Read Me (this document) and the SimpleText text-processing program are installed in an Apple RAID folder in the top-most directory of your startup disk.
Using the Microsoft Mail Backup Utility With Apple RAID
-------------------------------------------------------
Because of the way in which the Microsoft Mail Backup Utility shuts down the system, the automatic backup feature of Microsoft Mail causes mirrored volumes to become out of sync. The best way to back up your Microsoft Mail Server is to follow the instructions for a manual backup in the Microsoft Mail documentation.
Rebuilding Mirrored Volumes While Running AppleShare
----------------------------------------------------
When rebuilding a failed or out-of-sync mirror volume while AppleShare is running, set the AppleShare Remote User Activity slide bar to less than 50%. If AppleShare is under particularly heavy use, set the slide bar to an even smaller percentage of the processor's time. These settings ensure that Apple RAID will receive the necessary processing time to perform the rebuild. (See your AppleShare documentation for details about setting the Remote User Activity slide bar.)
Using Drive Setup to Reinitialize an Apple RAID-prepared disk
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a disk that contains Apple RAID volumes, and you no longer want to use it for Apple RAID, first use Apple RAID to delete the volumes and then restart the server. Then use Drive Setup to reinitialize the disk. (The volumes must be deleted and the server restarted to avoid a conflict between the Apple RAID driver and Drive Setup.)
