Configuring Array and Virtual Disk
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive
components into a logical unit. A RAID setup stores data over multiple hard disk drives to provide
enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. The DS-9000HFI/9600NI-RT is
capable of realizing RAID settings, supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10.
The DS-9000HFI/9600NI-RT series can store the data (such as record, picture, log information) in the
HDD only after you have created the virtual disk or you have configured network HDD (refer to Setting
Network HDD). Our device provides two ways for creating the virtual disk, including one-touch
configuration and manual configuration. The following flow chart shows the process of creating virtual
disk.
Note:
Please install the HDD(s) properly and it is recommended to use the same enterprise-level HDDs
(including model and capacity) for array creation and configuration so as to maintain reliable and stable
running of the disks.
One-touch Configuration
You can quickly create the disk array and virtual disk through one-touch configuration. By default, the
array type to be created is RAID 5.
Steps:
1. Enter the Physical Disk interface by going to Menu > System Configuration > RAID > Physical
Disk, as shown in Figure 103.
Figure 103 Physical Disk Settings Menu
2. Click the One-touch Config button to pop-up a One-touch Array Configuration box as shown
below.
