RAID
2-3
“Set” numbers are assigned in the RAID utility based on the
assigned disk number of the physical drives, with the lowest
numbered drives being part of the lowest numbered sets. Therefore,
Drive 0 will ALWAYS be part of Set 1, no matter if it is a single disk
or part of a RAID set. Drive 1 could be part of Set 1 if it is part of a
RAID set with Drive 0. If not, it will be part of Set 2.
For example, if a striped set were created with drives 1 and 2, the
sets would be (the physical drive number is in the brackets):
Set: 1 <0>
Manufacturer Model <PM> 19541 MB
Set: 2 <1,2> CMD Stripe set <PS> 39081 MB
Set: 3 <3> Manufacturer Model <SS> 19541 MB
If another striped set were created with drives 0 and 3, it would be:
Set: 1 <0,3>
CMD Stripe set <PM> 39081 MB
Set: 2 <1,2> CMD Stripe set <PS> 39081 MB
Windows, on the other hand, does not report the physical disk
drives, but only the Sets (even if they are representing single,
independent disk drives). However, Windows calls the sets
“drives.” In other words, it sees a RAID Set as a single drive of
whatever size the RAID Set reports. In Windows, the numbering of
each set (drive) will differ depending on which operating system is
being used as well as other devices currently installed on the
computer. It will almost always be different than that reported in
the BIOS or CMD Medley (RAID-Monitoring utility in Windows).
However, THE ORDER of the sets reported in the BIOS and CMD
Medley GUI will be maintained in Windows such that Set 1 in the
BIOS will be the first drive reported in any of the Windows
operating systems. Set 2 will always be the second drive, and so
forth..
2-3 Creating RAID Arrays
The UltraATA RAID BIOS will list the hard drives attached to the
controller. The physical drives are labeled 0, 1, 2, 3. Use this
numbering sequence when defining the drives in your RAID
Arrays. CMD Medley (RAID-Monitoring utility in Windows)
provides three RAID set types, Stripe (RAID 0), Mirror (RAID 1),
and Mirror-Stripe (RAID 0+1).
