All three drives in the disk section are packed as one logical drive (via MegaRAID Power
Console). This makes the drives in the system appear as one partition in Windows NT Disk
Administrator.
u
4 GB disk drives result in a 12 GB partition (8 GB partition if the RAID Level is set to
RAID 3 or RAID 5). RAID 5 is the default.
u
9 GB disk drives result in a 27 GB partition (18 GB partition if the RAID Level is set to
RAID 3 or RAID 5). RAID 5 is the default.
The MegaRAID BIOS and Power Console programs let you view and change the way in
which the RAID controller treats the RAID drives. For example, you can change the
configuration so that each drive is a separate partition, instead of all three being one
partition. When using MegaRAID BIOS or Power Console, the program identifies the drives
as Ax-N. Ax represents the logical drive (the array of disks, or the disk array) of the cabinet
that the drives are a part of, and N represents the disk drive number within the logical drive.
NOTE For detailed information about using the MegaRAID BIOS or Power Console, refer to the
InterRAID documentation.
The following figures show the correlation between the disk drives (labeled), their slot
location (shaded areas), and how they are identified in MegaRAID BIOS and Power Console
(MegaRAID ID).
