Configure Array Drives

The Configure Array Drive menu option allows you to configure array drives (hierarchy level 3).
Array drives with the following listed RAID levels can be configured within this. See Figure 52.
RAID 0 Pure Data Striping without Redundancy
RAID 1 Disk Mirroring
RAID 4 Data Striping with Dedicated Parity Drive
RAID 5 Data Striping with Striped Parity
RAID 10 RAID 0 Combined with RAID 1
Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 can manage up to 35 array drives (with different RAID levels)
simultaneously. Obviously, the number of hard disk drives will limit the number of parallel arrays
that can be used.
✏
NOTE
A RAID-1 component build will not appear on the select array drive list.

Keyboard Commands

<F4> displays level-by-level detailed information on the selected array drive (the structure, the
order, and which hard disk drives are part of the array drive). Use <F5> to turn on LEDs of all hard
disk drives belonging to this array drive. This can help to identify hard disk drives. If you press
<Enter> on a specific array drive StorCon displays a menu of options. See Figure 53.
