Creating A Physical Disk For Channel Redundant Virtual Disks On PERC Controllers
The following sections describe creating a channel-redundant virtual disk using RAID 10 or RAID 50 on PERC controllers.
Creating A Channel-Redundant Virtual Disk Using RAID 10
To create a channel-redundant virtual disk using RAID 10:
1. Select one physical disk on each of the two channels.
2. Select an additional disk on each of the two channels. You have now selected the minimum number of disks for a
RAID 10.
Repeat step 2 until you have selected the desired number of disks.
3. Click Continue to exit.
Creating A Channel-Redundant Virtual Disk Using RAID 50
To create a channel-redundant virtual disk using RAID 50:
1. Select one physical disk on each of the three channels.
2. Select an additional disk on each of the three channels. You have now selected the minimum number of disks for a
RAID 50.
Repeat step 2 until you have selected the desired number of disks.
3. Click Continue to exit.
