Description of RAID Setup Operations

Creating RAID Sets

As previously discussed, the SATA host controller supports
RAID 0 or RAID 1 configurations. The selection of the RAID
configuration should be based upon factors including
performance, data security, and the number of drives available.
You should 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. Select 'Create RAID Set.'
2. Choose a RAID 0 Striped, or a RAID 1 Mirrored set.
3. Select either Automatic Configure or Manual Configure to
configure the RAID set.
4. If you chose manual configuration, you can change the chunk
size for Striped sets. For Mirrored sets, you must assign
which drive is the Source and which is the Target.
5. The message 'Are You Sure?' will display before completing
the configuration. Answer 'N' to abort the creation of the
new RAID set, or 'Y' to proceed with the RAID set creation.

Deleting RAID Sets

1. To remove one or more RAID sets, select 'Delete RAID Set.'
2. Select the desired set and press
3. Press 'Y' when asked 'Are You Sure?'
4. The drives will be returned to the selection of logical drives
from which a new RAID set can be created.
