RAID Configuration and Management
•
Auto Configure RAID 0 (F1)
—automatically creates and configures a striped
array based on the available physical drives installed.
•
•
•
Auto Configure RAID 1 (F2)
—automatically creates and configures a mirrored
array based on the available physical drives installed. You must have a minimum
of two free hard drives in the array.
Auto Configure RAID 1+0 (F3)
—automatically creates and configures a RAID
1+0 array based on the available physical drives installed. You must have four
hard drives in the array.
IMPORTANT:
All previous settings are lost when the
Auto Configure
option is run for
RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 1+0 arrays.
Create Array (F4)
—creates a drive array. When this option is selected, a default
array template is created. You must edit the array properties to complete the array
creation. Use the arrow keys to select a property field, and then press the
Enter
key to edit that property. The array properties are as follows:
—
Array Type
—selects the intended RAID mode including RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 1+0, and Spare. The default for the
Array Type
option is RAID 0.
—
Drive(s)
—selects the drives for the array. This option refers to the drive
number listed in the
Physical Drives Information
box, not the number of
drives in the array. Use the arrow keys, and then press the spacebar to select
or deselect the drive or drives. Press the
Enter
key when done. There is no
default for this setting.
—
Stripe Size
—changes the stripe size. This field applies only to RAID 0 and
RAID 1+0 arrays. The default stripe size is 64 KB.
IMPORTANT:
RAID configurations do not support a stripe size less than 32 KB.
You cannot change the stripe size of an array that has been configured already.
—
Drive Size
—displays the size of the array and cannot be edited. If the array
type is RAID 0, then the drive size is the total of all the drives selected. If the
array type is RAID 1, drive size is shown by the smaller of the two drives
making up the array.
