Page 62: Amd Raid Configuration
AMD RAID Configuration The following are the RAID levels supported by RAIDXpert2. RAID 0 (Striping) breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 (Mirroring) provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance. -
Page 63: Initializing Disks
Initializing Disks New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata) to a disk. ⚠ Important ∙ If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization. To initial the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. -
Page 64: Creating Arrays
Creating Arrays Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized. ⚠ Important For redundant arrays, the Create process is not started until after the operating ∙ system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to the operating system. -
Page 65: Deleting Arrays
Deleting Arrays ⚠ Important Deleting an array permanently destroys all data that is on the array. This action ∙ cannot be undone and it is very unlikely that the data can be recovered. ∙ Do not delete the first array listed in the Arrays section, if it is the AMD-RAID bootable array. -
