3.4 Using Quick Volume /Raid Setup Con-
guration
“Quick Volume / Raid Setup” conguration collects all available
drives and includes them in a RAID set. The RAID set you create
is associated with exactly one volume set. You will only be able to
modify the default RAID level, the stripe size, and the capacity of
the new volume set. The volume set default settings will be:
• Add physical drives,
• Dene volume sets,
• Modify volume sets,
• Modify RAID level/stripe size,
• Dene pass-through disk drives and
• Modify system functions.
3.3 Conguring Raid Sets and Volume Sets
You can congure RAID sets and volume sets with McBIOS RAID
manager automatically using “Quick Volume/Raid Setup” or manu-
ally using “Raid Set/Volume Set Function”. Each conguration
method requires a different level of user input. The general ow of
operations for RAID set and volume set conguration is:
Step Action
1 Designate pass-through drives (optional).
2 Choose a conguration method.
3 Create RAID sets using the available physical drives.
4 Dene volume sets using the space available in the RAID Set.
5 Initialize the volume sets and use volume sets (as logical drives) in the
host OS.
