hardware configuration and provide optimum capacity, performance, and data protection.

For further instructions, go to Changing the Disk RAID .
• If you accept the default configuration, go to the section appropriate for your configuration:
◦ Network configuration for Fibre Channel systems
◦ Network configuration for iSCSI systems

Changing the Disk RAID

If you chose Change Raid in the Configure Disk RAID window, the Add Disk Raid window is displayed.
You can select another RAID based on the number of disks and their desired usage characteristics, such
as performance or capacity. If tiered disks are discovered, you are presented with options using the tiers.
Disks are automatically assigned to a storage tier. Only valid, symmetrical RAID configuration options are
presented and can be selected.
Procedure

the window.
2. On the configuration window for the chosen tier, click Select RAID Type.
3. The valid configurations for the tier will be displayed in the Configuration description list. Select a
configuration and click OK.
