Configuring VROC RAID Settings
The Supermicro X11 Purley platform supports Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC).
Intel® VROC is a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) solution, which integrates
with Intel® Volume Management Device (Intel® VMD), for Non-Volatile Memory Express
(NVMe) solid-state drives (SSDs). The E.1 section provides instructions on how to access All
Intel VMD Controllers menu items. The E.2 section explains RAID settings. The E.3 section
describes the use of journal disk for RAID5 volume (parity based RAID).
