Configuring the System with RAID ADG

The procedure for configuring a system with RAID ADG depends on whether it is a
new system and what operating system it uses. This section gives an overview of the
procedure. For more detailed information, refer to the user guide for the array
controller that the system is using.
NOTE: The maximum size of a logical drive that can be configured through ACU is 2 TB.
However, some operating systems do not support logical drives that are larger than 502 GB.
Refer to the operating system documentation for details.
