Creating a RAID Volume
To create a RAID 0 set:
1.
From the Define a New Array menu, select
RAID Mode, then press <Enter>. A pop-up
menu appears.
Use the up or down arrow keys to select a
RAID mode then press <Enter>. You can select
either Mirroring, Striping, Spanning, Stripe
Mirroring, or RAID 5.
•
The RAID mode is set to Mirroring by default.
•
Not all RAID modes are supported on all
platforms.
2.
Press <TAB> to select the Striping Block
option, then press <Enter>. The following
submenu appears:
The available stripe size values range from 4KB to 128KB. The default
stripe size is optimal (64KB). You must choose the stripe size value
based on the projected drive usage. For low disk usage, select 4KB/8
KB/16 KB. For typical disk usage, select 64 KB. Select 128KB for
performance disk usage.
For server systems, we recommend using a lower array block size. For
multimedia computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing,
we recommend a higher array block size for optimum performance.
3.
Press <TAB> to move to the Free Disks section.
Highlight the hard disk drives that you want to add in the RAID set,
then press the right arrow key to select. The selected hard disk drives
appear in the Array Disks section. Repeat the process until all desired
hard disk drives are added.
