Creating a RAID Volume Manually
The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the ability to create a RAID volume
manually. This option should be used if you are using a third bootable device such as an IDE or
SCSI hard drive – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard drives. One benefit of using a third
bootable device and creating a RAID volume manually is that the operating system is not located
on the RAID volume. Should something happen to the RAID volume, the operating system should
not be impacted.
NOTE
The “Create Volume Manually” option is not selectable unless a third bootable device (such as an
IDE or SCSI hard drive) is installed in the system – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard
drives.
To manually create a RAID volume, right-mouse click on “RAID Volumes” and select “Create
Manually” to create a new RAID volume as illustrated below:
NOTE
Manually creating a RAID volume can also be accomplished by clicking on the “RAID” file menu,
and then arrow down and click on “Create Volume Manually.”
