Outlining RAID functions
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that can combine two or more
drives for fault tolerance and continued system performance. The CallPilot RAID controller is

RAID Level 1.
With Level 1 mirroring, two equal-capacity disk drives mirror one another. One disk drive serves
as the backup copy of the other disk drive. If one disk drive fails, the other continues to run.
Configuring RAID firmware, driver, and power console
Verifying the RAID configuration
