Default Boot Sequence; P4000 G2 Unified Nas Gateway Raid Configuration - HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 User Manual

IMPORTANT:
The first two logical drives are configured for the storage system operating system.
The Operating System volume default factory settings can be customized after the operating system
is up and running. The following settings can be changed:
• RAID level can be changed to any RAID level except RAID 0
• OS logical drive size can be changed to 40 GB or higher
If the Operating System volume is customized and the System Recovery DVD is run at a later time,
the System Recovery process will maintain the custom settings as long as the above criteria are met
(RAID level other than RAID 0 and OS logical drive size of 40 GB or higher) and the OS volume is
labeled System. If the storage system arrays are deleted and the System Recovery DVD is run, the
System Recovery process will configure the storage system using the factory default settings listed in
the table below.
HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateways do not include preconfigured data volumes.
The administrator must configure data storage for the storage system. See
storage on page 68 for more information.
The system reserved partition contains the operating system boot loader and allows you to enable
BitLocker Drive Encryption for the Operating System volume.
