10.6 Software RAID Utility
10.6.1 Overview of software RAID utility
The software RAID utility is used to check software RAID status while the OS is not running and
to rebuild RAID1. The software RAID utility is included as one of the recovery DVD functions.
The software RAID utility provides the following functions.
(1) RAID1 status display
This function displays the current software RAID status. The software RAID status is shown
on the menu window in the software RAID utility startup process.
(2) RAID1 rebuilding function
This function rebuilds RAID1. Rebuilding with the OS inactive can be completed earlier than
rebuilding with the OS running. Use this function when you do not want to run the OS or
reduce the maintenance time.
(3) Consistency check function
This function checks consistency of data of all areas of HDDs in drive bay 1 and drive bay 2.
Use this function for periodic inspection to enhance the availability of the computer.
(4) Array creation function
This function edits RAID1 management information of HDDs and creates an array with two
HDDs. Use this function to restore backup data by using commercially available backup
software.
(5) Drive initialization function
This function initializes the configuration information of the HDD that was used as a software
RAID (effectively creating a new HDD). Use this function when reusing a HDD that has been
used as a backup HDD, when a normal HDD is made offline by mistake, and for other
purposes.
