Create Legacy RAID Group
This menu option is disabled if new RAID groups exist. If enabled, this menu option displays a dialog box to
create a legacy RAID group. Enter values for the following parameters.
Parameter Description
RAID Group
Select a group ID from the available ID list. The maximum number of Legacy
RAID Groups is limited to the number of hard drives that are connected to the
RAID controller.
Configuration
Select one of:
•
Striped (for RAID 0)
•
Mirrored (for RAID 1)
•
Mirrored Striped (for RAID 10)
•
Parity RAID (for RAID 5)
Capacity
Select from a list of RAID group sizes. Options include sizes from 256 MB to
100 GB, plus MAX.
Chunk Size
Select a value from the available list to define the chunk size (stripe size) for
performance tuning: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 (KB). Mirrored (RAID 1) does not
require a chunk size.
Rebuild Priority
Select a value to identify how quickly the controller should rebuild data on a
disk after a hardware failure. A value of 1 is the lowest priority and will take
the longest to rebuild. A value of 10 is the highest priority and will rebuild the
fastest, but may require more CPU resources, which might affect the computer’s
performance. Striped (RAID 0) does not use this value.
Devices Select RAID member devices from the available device segment grid.
