Users Guide

You can use this feature to automatically congure all physical disks in Ready state into RAID 0 virtual disks. This feature is supported
on PERC 9 family of hardware controllers with the latest rmware version.
NOTE: The Auto Congure RAID0 operation is only supported on SAS and SATA HDDs. If there are any SSDs available in
the server, this feature ignores the SSDs when performing the Auto Congure RAID0 operation.
NOTE: When performing an Auto Congure RAID0 operation on a single storage controller, the maximum number of
physical disks supported is 192. Only physical disks in
Ready state are congured into RAID 0 virtual disks.
Before you proceed, browse to the physical disks details page and verify if the physical disks are in Ready state. To congure
physical disks into RAID 0 virtual disks, perform the following steps:
1. In the Server Administrator window, under the system tree, expand Storage to display the controller objects.
2. Select the Controller object.
3. Click Information/Conguration on the controller Properties page.
4. In the Controller Tasks drop-down menu, select Auto Congure RAID0, and then click Execute.
The Auto Congure RAID0 window is displayed. Read the messages displayed on this window before you proceed.
5. Click Conrm to congure the physical disks.
The auto congure operation may take time to complete, depending on the conguration and available physical disks in Ready
state. The Auto Congure RAID0 operation is successful, only if the Alert Log is updated. You can check the Alert Log for
more information.
NOTE: If there are no physical disks in Ready state and you repeat the procedure, the Auto Congure RAID0 operation
automatically ignores your request without displaying any error message. For more information about alerts and their
corrective actions, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide . at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
