  • Page 79: 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 80: 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 81: 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. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a bootable array or a data array.

  • Page 82: 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.
