Chapter 6: Configuring your RAID solutions
Custom RAID configuration
If you choose
Custom Configuration
, the Web Console displays the
Array Definition
screen
with an
Arrays
pane containing all previously configured arrays. Each logical drive has a
label (such as
LD 0
), RAID level, and drive capacity. Spanned arrays use hyphenated array
numbers such as
LD0-1
, which indicates disk drive 1 in array 0.
To create an array:
1
Hold down the
C
TRL
key and click the drives you want to add to the array. The selected
drives will be highlighted in blue.
2
Click
Add to Array
. A new logical drive will be displayed in the
Arrays
pane.
3
Click
Accept,
then
Next
to continue.
Defining logical drives
After configuring the physical drives, the
Logical Drive Parameter
screen opens. This screen
displays the logical drive(s) for you to define. You can specify the RAID level and size. You
can also span arrays and set advanced parameters.
The
Logical Drive
window displays all the arrays on the current adapter and the global hot
spare drive pool. Web Console labels logical drives as
New
or
LD0
,
LD1
,
LD2
, and so forth.
You must define all the logical drives to be configured in the new array. Do not create
drives that span the current array and another array. Uncheck the Span Array box.
To define logical drives:
1
Click the
RAID Level
from the list. The Wizard does not permit an invalid RAID level
configuration.
2
Set the size by accepting the default or by entering a smaller size in the
Size
box.
Specify a smaller size to leave room in the array for additional logical drives.
Creating multiple logical drives in the same array disables FlexRAID, so you cannot
change RAID levels or add capacity. Do not mix redundant and non-redundant logical
drives in the same array.
3
Click
Advanced
to set the stripe size, read policy, write policy, virtual sizing, and cache
policy. Open each list to display the options for each parameter, select an option, then
click
OK
to proceed.
If you use Web Console to configure an array on a NetWare server, you cannot use
Writeback as the write policy.
