In “Raid Set Function”, you can use the “Create Raid Set” function to generate
the new RAID set. In Volume Set Function, you can use the “Create Volume
Set” function to generate its associated volume set and parameters.
If the current controller has unused physical devices connected, you can
choose the “Create Hot Spare” option in the “Raid Set Function” to define a
global hot spare. Select this method to configure new RAID sets and volume
sets. The “Raid Set/Volume Set Function” configuration option allows you to
associate volume set with partial and full RAID set.
To setup the hot spare (option), choose “Raid Set Function” from the main
menu. Select the “Create Hot Spare” and press the Enter
key to define the hot
spare.
Choose “RAID Set Function” from the m
ain menu. Select “Create Raid Set”
and press the Enter key.
The “Select a Drive For Raid Set” window is displayed showing the SAS/SATA
drives connected to the RAID subsystem.
Press the UP/ DOWN to select specific physical drives. Press the ENT
to
associate the selected physical drive with the current RAID set.
Try to use drives of the same capacity in a specific RAID
set. If you use drives
with different capacities in an array, all the drives in t
he array is treated as
though they have the capacity of the smallest drive in the array.
The number of physical drives in a specific RAID set determines
the RAID
levels that can be implemented with the RAID set.
