Select Standard Configuration to quickly configure a controller. Choosing Standard
Configuration is the fastest way to configure a controller but requires an intermediate to
advanced level of knowledge concerning storage. The Standard Configuration path offers
the least amount of help or step-by-step guides and does not provide a FAQ panel, assuming
the user knows exactly what they would like to accomplish and are very familiar with the
concepts required to complete the task.
The default method is the standard configuration method. The steps that follow are for
creating an array using the standard configuration mode.
7.
Click Create Array.
8.
Select all of the drives to be included in the array, and then click OK.
9.
Select the array that was just created, and then click Create logical Drive at the right.
10.
Select the desired Fault Tolerance, Stripe Size, and Size of the logical disk, and then click OK.
The Fault tolerance level depends on the amount of disks selected when the array was created.
A minimum of two disks is required for a RAID 0+1 configuration, three disks for a RAID 5
configuration, and four disks for a RAID 5 ADG configuration.
11.
After all logical disks have been created, click Save.
12.
Click Exit ACU to exit the ACU session.
ACU guidelines
•
Do not modify Array A off of the Smart Array controller as it contains the storage server OS.
•
Spanning more than 14 disks with a RAID 5 volume is not recommended.
•
Designate spares for RAID sets to provide greater protection against failures.
•
RAID sets cannot span controllers.
•
A single array can contain multiple logical drives of varying RAID settings.
•
Extending and Expanding Arrays and Logical Drives is supported.
•
RAID migration is supported.
Managing disks on configurable storage servers
From the Disks tab of the WebUI, click Disks. The page displays the physical disks that are associated
with the storage server and the volumes that are created on them. Multiple volumes can appear on
multiple disks depending on whether the volumes are simple, spanned, or multi-volumes/partitions exist.
The page also displays the type of disk (basic or dynamic).
