If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID
set, copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk before you
install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
2.1.2
Installing hard disk drives
The RAID card supports SAS for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance,
install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
To install SAS hard disks for RAID configuration:
1. Install the SAS hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the
system user guide.
2. Connect the SAS port connectors to the SAS drives.
RAID 60
is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 6. It uses distributed parity, with two
independent parity blocks per stripe in each RAID set, and disk striping. A RAID
60 virtual disk can survive the loss of two disks in each of the RAID 6 sets without
losing data. It works best with data that requires high reliability, high request rates,
high data transfers, and medium-to-large capacity.
