• RAID6: This mode uses two parity drives for every 16 or more data drives. To use RAID 6 mode, your
configuration must contain at least 20 drives. Although RAID6 can increase storage efficiency of the
appliance when compared to DDP, it is not recommended for most StorageGRID environments.
If any volumes have already been configured or if StorageGRID was previously installed,
changing the RAID mode causes the volumes to be removed and replaced. Any data on those
volumes will be lost.
Steps
1. Open a browser, and enter one of the IP addresses for the appliance's compute controller.
https://Controller_IP:8443
is the IP address of the compute controller (not the storage controller) on any of the
