  RAID Configuration
Automatic Setup without Redundancy
Automatic setup without redundancy requires one or more hard drives. UCS-SCU creates RAID 0 with 
this option. 
Note This option does not work, if number of HDDs are more than thirty-two. 
Table 7-3 shows the default values that are displayed for automatic setup without redundancy.
Note The common parameters, except for total size, are the default values for the controller.
Automatic Setup with Redundancy 
Automatic setup with redundancy is the default RAID configuration option. This configuration requires 
at least two physical drives to be available. If two physical disks are not available, the default RAID 
configuration would be automatic setup without redundancy.
Note This option does not work, if number of HDDs are more than thirty-two.
Table 7-4 shows the default values that are displays.
