screen, the Configuration Wizard creates the best
configuration possible using the available physical disks.
Follow these steps to create a new storage configuration in A
UTO
C
ONFIGURATION
mode:
1. Select a redundancy option from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the A
UTO
C
ONFIGURATION
screen:
• No Redundancy: The new configuration will have no data redundancy (RAID
0). If a physical disk in the confi guration fails, all data will be lost.
• With Redundancy: The new configuration will have data redundancy via mir-
rored data (RAID 1) or via parity data (RAID 5). If a physical disk fails, data is
still protected.
2. Select an initialization option from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the screen:
• No Initialization: The new configuration is not initialized, and the existing data
on the disks is not overwritten.
• Fast Initialization: MegaRAID Storage Manager software quickly writes zeroes
to the first and last 8 Mbyte regions of the new virtual disk.
