Auto Congure RAID0 Operation
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
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.
