Additional RAID Information

OS Installation
The above steps document the process for setting up a hardware RAID array using the tools provided
by the hardware RAID adapter. After this setup process is complete, an operating system can be
installed. If the user does not wish to have the RAID array be bootable, a separate SATA or SAS boot
disk can be used, and the RAID array can be a separate disk group for data storage only. During
operating system installation, the configured RAID array will be recognized as a logical disk group, and
can be set up and partitioned as desired.
Other Workstation Platforms
The above information applies only to the desktop workstation platforms discussed herein. Hardware
RAID support is not available on the HP xw4550, since only SAS RAID is supported on HP Linux
workstations. The xw4550 only supports SATA drives, and SATA RAID support is not available. The
HP xw460c blade workstation supports hardware RAID levels 0 or 1 using the SAS drives that are
available for use on that platform.
