Creating a Stripe Set
You can create a stripe set across two drives. However, Avid|DS requires at
least eight drives striped together to sustain real-time performance.
To stripe two drives
1. Start Windows NT 4.0 and log in to an account with Administrator
privileges.
2. Go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools (Common Files) > Disk
Administrator.
The Disk Administrator window is displayed. The example below shows
Disk 1 and Disk 2 being used to create a stripe set.
3. Select a drive. Press the Ctrl key, and select another drive of the same size.
4. From the Partition menu, choose Create Stripe Set.
The Create Stripe Set window is displayed.
The drives you stripe must not contain extended or logical
partitions. Use the Delete command to delete any partitions before
you stripe the drives.
If you attempt to create a striped group from non-Avid drives, Avid
makes no representation that the striped group will perform to Avid
specifications for your application or sequence. Consequently,
Avid|DS Customer Service will not be able to support any issues
caused by the non-Avid drives or the striped group.
