Creating a RAID Volume
On Network Storage, the term RAID Volume refers to one or more disk drives
working together as a RAID logical drive.
You can also use a USB disk to create a RAID Volume.
You must have unassigned disk drives in your Network Storage to create a
new RAID.
To create a new RAID Volume:
1. In the Tree, click on the + beside the RAID & File System icon.
2. Click on the RAID Management icon.
3. Click on the Create tab.
4. From the RAID Level dropdown menu, select the RAID level you prefer for
your disk array.
See “Choosing a RAID Level” on page 102 for more information.
5. Highlight disk drives in the Free Disks column and click the >> button to
move them to the Disks in RAID column.
6. Click the OK button.
The RAID Volume is created and formatting begins. Formatting requires
several minutes, depending on the size of your disk drives.
After formatting is done, you must create folders on your RAID Volume.
Designating a Spare Drive
If you have an unassigned disk drive, you can assign it as a spare drive.
For more information, see “Spare Drive” on page 103 and “Automatic
Rebuilding” on page 104.
To assign a spare drive:
1. In the Tree, click on the + beside the RAID & File System icon.
2. Click on the RAID Management icon.
3. Click on the Create tab.
4. From the RAID Level dropdown menu, select Spare Disk.
5. Highlight disk drive in the Free Disks column and click the >> button to
move it to the Disks in RAID column.
6. Click the OK button.
