Figure 5-46 Initializing disks
Step 4 Choose whether to create a RAID group. To set disks as a RAID group, select
RAID1. To set disks to work independently, select NON-RAID.
The VCN510 supports only RAID1 or NON-RAID. If only one disk is congured, the VCN510
supports only NON-RAID. This section assumes that two disks are congured for the
VCN510.
Table 5-27 Disk modes
RAID Mode Description
RAID1 Two disks are required in RAID 1 mode. If RAID 1 is used,
disks back up each other. After recording data is stored in a
disk, the data will be simultaneously backed up to another
disk, ensuring high data storage reliability. However, the
disk usage of RAID 1 is lower than that of disks that work
independently.
NON-RAID If disks work independently, recording data is stored into
two disks in sequence, ensuring high disk usage. However,
the data storage reliability of disks that work independently
is lower than that of RAID 1.
Step 5 Click Start. A risk warning is displayed.
Step 6 Click OK. The system starts to initialize the disks.
The server will be restarted during the initialization of disks. The process takes about 5 to
10 minutes.

Step 1 Choose Local Conguration > Local Disk.
Step 2 View the RAID group status in the RAID Groups area.
If RAID1 is selected for the disks, RAID 1 is created for both the system partition
(used to store system data) and data partition (used to store recordings).
