4.4 Create RAID Units
Use the RAID manager to build a disk array, when a hardware RAID controller is
installed in Open-E iSCSI. To create disk arrays utilize 3ware RAID manager (3DM or
3DM2) for RAID controllers series 7000/8000/9000. Use an ICP console for INTEL /
ICP Vortex RAID controllers. For any additional information refer to a RAID controller
user manual. You can use also storage devices connected to a Fibre Channel.
If the hardware RAID controller is not installed, you can use software RAID, select
“RAID| FC” in the menu and then “S/W RAID”.
You will find a list of any available disk drives (units).
To create a disk array, please mark any selected unit(s) and choose the appropriate
RAID from the “destination”. Created RAID units appear as RAID 0, 1, 5 and 6.
After clicking “create” button, the status will change to “in use” with additional
information describing the kind of a disk array (e.g. MD0 is RAID 1)
