The DataGuard Appliance uses RAID (redundant array of independent
disks) technology to manage multiple hard drives as if they are
one storage device. As more hard drives are added, higher levels
of performance and redundancy become possible. If you use the
One-Click Setup option, the DataGuard Management Interface
selects the RAID type automatically based on the number of the
hard drives installed:
Number of installed hard drives 1 2 3 4 5
RAID type RAID0 RAID1 RAID5 RAID5
RAID5
If you plan to create multiple arrays or logical drives, or if you want
to specify a particular RAID level, click the Manual Setup button and
refer to “Storage Tab” on page 31 for instructions.
Number of installed hard drives 1 2 3 4 5
