RAID Configuration
LD View / LD Define Menu (Creating RAID)
The selection of the RAID configuration should be based upon factors including
performance, data security, and the number of drives available. It is best to carefully
consider the long-term role of the system and plan the data storage strategy. RAID
sets can be created either automatically, or to allow the greatest flexibility, manually.
1. Press 2 on the Main Menu screen to enter the LD View Menu.
2. And then press Ctrl + C keys to enter the LD Define Menu. Use the space key to

Assignments window.
