6-2 MegaRAID Storage Manager Overview and Installation
You can use the Configuration Wizard Auto Configuration mode to
automatically create the best possible configuration with the available
hardware. You can use the Guided Configuration mode, which asks you
a few brief questions about the configuration, and then creates it for you.
Or you can use the Manual Configuration mode, which gives you
complete control over all aspects of the storage configuration.
The Modify Drive Group Wizard enables you to increase the capacity of
a virtual drive and to change the RAID level of a drive group.
Note: The Modify Drive Group Wizard was previously known as
the Reconstruction Wizard.
