Viewing Current RAID Configuration

The View Current RAID Configuration and Select Controller page displays the attributes of any virtual disks already

configured on the supported RAID controllers attached to the system. You have two options:

• Accept the existing virtual disks without changing. To select this option, click Back. If you have to install the

operating system on an existing virtual disk, make sure that the virtual disk size and RAID level are correct.

• Use the RAID configuration wizard to delete all the existing virtual disks and create only single and new virtual

disk to be used as the new boot device. To select this option, click Next.

NOTE: RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy and hot spare. Other RAID levels provide data

redundancy and enable you to reconstruct data in the event of a disk drive failure.

NOTE: You can create only one virtual disk using Lifecycle Controller. To create multiple virtual disks, use

option ROM. To access option ROM, press CTRL+R during boot or Power-on Self-test (POST).

Selecting RAID Controller
