figuration
Quick Volume / Raid Setup Configuration collects all available
drives and includes them in a RAID Set. The RAID Set you create
is associated with exactly one Volume Set. You will only be able
to modify the default RAID level, the stripe size, and the capacity
of the new Volume Set. Designating drives as Hot Spares is also
possible in the raid level selection option. The Volume Set default
settings will be:
Parameter
Setting
Volume Name
Volume Set # 00

It is recommend that you drives of the same capacity in a specific array.
If you use drives with different capacities in an array, all drives in the
raid set will be set to the capacity of the smallest drive in the raid set.
The numbers of physical drives in a specific array determines which RAID
levels that can be implemented in the array.
RAID 0 requires 1 or more physical drives.
RAID 1 requires at least 2 physical drives.
RAID 1+Spare requires at least 3 physical drives.
RAID (1+0) requires at least 4 physical drives.
RAID 3 requires at least 3 physical drives.
RAID 5 requires at least 3 physical drives.
RAID 3 +Spare requires at least 4 physical drives.
RAID 5 + Spare requires at least 4 physical drives.
RAID 6 requires at least 4 physical drives.
RAID 6 + Spare requires at least 5 physical drives.
