6.5. RAID Set Functions
Use the "Raid Set Function" and "Volume Set Function" if you prefer to customize your volume set. Manual
configuration can provide full control of the RAID set settings, but it will take longer to complete than the "Quick
Volume/Raid Setup" configuration. Select the "Raid Set Function" to manually configure the RAID set for the first
time or delete and reconfigure existing RAID sets. (A RAID set is a group of disks containing one or more volume
sets.)

displayed showing the drive(s) connected to the current controller and enclosures. Click on the selected

identifier for a RAID set. The default RAID set name will always appear as "Raid Set #". Click on the
"Confirm The Operation" check box and click on the "Submit" button on the screen; the RAID set will
start to initialize. If you have available disk member, you can repeat above procedures to define another

128 volumes is the default mode for SAS RAID controller, the 16 volumes mode is used for support
roaming this raidset to SATA RAID controllers. The SATA RAID controller is designed to support up to 16
volumes only. You have to use "Max 16 volumes" on the raidset mode if you plan to roam this raidset
between SAS RAID controller and SATA RAID controller.
Note: To create RAID 30/50/60 volume, you need create multiple RAID sets first (up to 8 RAID sets) with
the same disk numbers on each RAID set. The max no. disk drives per RAID set: 32 for RAID
0/1/10(1E)/3/50/60 and 128 for RAID 00/100/30/50/60.

check box and click on the "Submit" button in the screen to delete it. The volume sets included in the
