RAID Web Console 2

The Intel

RAID Web Console 2 utility runs within the operating system. It is Java* GUI-based

and enables the user to easily configure the RAID controller, disk drives, battery backup

module, and other storage related devices connected to the RAID controller or embedded on

the server board.

The utility is used the most easily with a mouse, and standard right and left mouse clicks are

functional based on the operating system mouse configuration.

The RAID Web Console 2 includes a Configuration Wizard that simplifies the process of

creating disk arrays and virtual drives. Within the Configuration Wizard, the user can select from

several options:

 The Auto Configuration mode automatically creates the best possible configuration

based on options configurable with available hardware.

 The Guided Configuration mode asks a few brief questions about the configuration, and

then creates creates the configuration based on the answers provided.

 The Manual Configuration mode provides complete control over all aspects of the

storage configuration.

A Reconstruction Wizard is available to increase or reduce the size of a virtual disk and to

change the RAID level of an array.

See the Software User Guide: Intel

RAID Controller SRCSAS18E for detail description of these

functions. The table below provides a synopsis of available options.
