Creating a RAID Array
After you install the physical disks, you can create the RAID arrays. Before you
create a RAID array, either for the first time, or when you are rebuilding it as a result
of failed disks in the array, it is a good idea to set the Rebuild Priority (see
”Storage
Options” section on page 65
) to determine how you want to allocate the system
resources for the rebuild.
To create an array:
STEP 1
From the Manager Menu, click Storage
RAID.
The RAID page appears:
NOTE:
When adding disks to an array, we
recommend you use the same model of disk
with the same capacity. With the exception of a
JBOD, RAIDs are configured to use the
maximum of the smallest disk capacity in the
array for each additional disk in the array. For
example, if you install one, 250 GB disk and one
500 GB disk in a RAID0 array, the total capacity
is only 500 GB.
