Please keep in mind when using the Universal RAID Utility together with WebBIOS: .
Terms
Terms used in WebBIOS differ from those used in the Universal RAID Utility.
When you use the Universal RAID Utility together with WebBIOS, substitute terms according to the following list.
Term in WebBIOS Term in the Universal RAID Utility
Adapter RAID Controller
Virtual Drive Logical Drive
Drive Group Disk Array
Physical Drive Physical Device
Number and ID
Numbering of each component of a RAID System used in the Universal RAID Utility differs from the one used in WebBIOS.
Adapter and RAID Controller
WebBIOS identifies the Adapter starting from 0. You can see the Adapter number using [Adapter No] in the [Adapter
Selection] menu.
The Universal RAID Utility identifies the RAID Controller starting from 1. You can see the RAID Controller number using
[Number] in the RAID Controller properties on the RAID Viewer or using [RAID Controller #X] in the RAID Controller
properties on the raidcmd command.
Also, you can see the number of the Adapter managed by WebBIOS using [ID] in the RAID Controller properties by the
Universal RAID Utility.
Virtual Drive and Logical Drive
WebBIOS identifies the Virtual Disk starting from 0. You can see a number of Virtual Disk using [VD X] in Virtual Drives.
The Universal RAID Utility identifies the Logical Drive starting from 1. You can see the Logical Drive number using
[Number] in the Logical Drive properties on the RAID Viewer or using [RAID Controller #X Logical Drive #Y] in the Logical
Drive properties on the raidcmd command.
You can also see the Logical Drive number managed by WebBIOS where [ID] in the property of Logical Drive by Universal
RAID Utility.
Disk Array
WebBIOS identifies a Disk Array starting from 0. You can see a number of Disk Array using [DG X] in Physical Drives and
Virtual Drives.
The Universal RAID Utility identifies Disk Array starting from 1. You can see a number of Disk Array using [Disk Array] in
the Logical Drive properties on the RAID Viewer or [RAID Controller #X Disk Array #Y] in the Disk Array properties on the
raidcmd command.
Physical Drive and Physical Device
WebBIOS identifies Physical Drive with two numbers (Slot number and Connector number, starting with 0). You can view
these numbers shown by [x:x:x] in the Physical Drives box. You can view these numbers in the Physical Drives properties.
The Universal RAID Utility identifies Physical Device with a number starting with 1 and ID, Enclosure number, and Slot
number. The numbers of Hard Disk Drives connected to the controller are sorted in ascending order based on ID. The ID has
the same value than the Slot number shown in WebBIOS. Enclosure number and Slot number are assigned with a number
