RAID Configuration and Management
Help Information
IMPORTANT: When running the Configuration Utility, RAID 0+1 may be displayed in place of
RAID 1+0. RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0 are used synonymously in this utility.
The Help window displays hints on available options and provides a list of keys that
you can use to perform tasks, such as the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Switch Windows (Tab)—switches the control back and forth between the Array
Information and the Physical Drive Information windows.
Auto Configure RAID 0 (F1)—automatically creates and configures a striped
array based on the available physical drives installed.
Auto Configure RAID 1 (F2)—automatically creates and configures a mirrored
array based on the available physical drives installed. A minimum of two free
hard drives must be available in the array.
Auto Configure RAID 1+0 (F3)—automatically creates and configures a RAID
1+0 array based on the available physical drives installed. Four hard drives must
be present in the array.
IMPORTANT: All previous settings are lost when the Auto Configure option is run for
RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 1+0 arrays.
Create Array (F4)—creates a drive array. When this option is selected, a default
array template is created. The array properties must be edited to complete the
array creation. Use the arrow keys to select a property field, and then press the
Enter key to edit that property. The array properties are as follows:
— Array Type—selects the intended RAID mode including RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 1+0, and Spare. The default for the Array Type option is RAID 0.
— Drive(s)—selects the drives for the array. This option refers to the drive
number listed in the Physical Drives Information box, not the number of
drives in the array. Use the arrow keys, and then press the spacebar to select
or deselect the drive or drives. Press the Enter key when done. There is no
default for this setting.
— Stripe Size—changes the stripe size. This field applies only to RAID 0 and
RAID 1+0 arrays. The default stripe size is 64 KB.
