Common Storage Tasks
This section provides information on commonly performed storage tasks:
• Create and configure virtual disks (RAID configuration). For more information, see:
– Create Virtual Disk Express Wizard — This topic provides information on using the Express Wizard to
create a virtual disk. Using the Express Wizard is the quickest method for creating a virtual disk. The
Express Wizard is appropriate for novice users.
– Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard — This topic provides information on using the Advanced Wizard
to create a virtual disk. The Advanced Wizard requires a good knowledge of RAID levels and hardware
and is appropriate for advanced users.
– Virtual Disks — This topic provides detailed information regarding the virtual disk management. This
information includes controller-specific considerations that affect virtual disk creation and
management.
• Assign a hot spare to the virtual disk — When a virtual disk uses a RAID level, you can assign a hot spare
(backup physical disk) to rebuild data if a physical disk in the virtual disk fails.
– Protecting Your Virtual Disk With A Hot Spare — This topic provides information on hot spares and
controller-specific information.
• Perform a Check Consistency — The Maintaining The Integrity Of Redundant Virtual Disks task verifies the
accuracy of the redundant data on a virtual disk.
• Reconfigure a Virtual Disk — To expand the capacity of a virtual disk you can add physical disks to the virtual
disk. You can also change the RAID levels. For more information, see Virtual Disk Task: Reconfigure (Step 1 of 3).
