Configure Array Drives
The Configure Array Drive menu option allows you to configure array drives (hierarchy level 3).
Array drives with the following listed RAID levels can be configured within this. See Figure 54.
RAID 0
Pure Data Striping without Redundancy
RAID 1
Disk Mirroring
RAID 4
Data Striping with Dedicated Parity Drive
RAID 5
Data Striping with Striped Parity
RAID 10
RAID 0 Combined with RAID 1
Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 can manage up to 35 array drives (with different RAID levels)
simultaneously. Obviously, the number of hard drives will limit the number of parallel arrays that
can be used.
NOTE
A RAID-1 component build will not appear on the select array drive list.
Keyboard Commands
<F4> displays level-by-level detailed information on the selected array drive (the structure, the
order, and which hard drives are part of the array drive). Use <F5> to turn on LEDs of all hard
drives belonging to this array drive. This can help to identify hard drives. If you press <Enter> on
a specific array drive StorCon displays a menu of options. See Figure 55.
