This password option allows user to set or clear the RAID subsystem’s

password protection feature. Once the password has been set, the user can

only monitor and configure the RAID subsystem by providing the correct

password. The password is used to protect the internal RAID subsystem from

unauthorized entry. The controller will prompt for the password only when

entering the main menu from the initial screen. The RAID subsystem will

automatically return to the initial screen when it does not receive any command

in five minutes.

5.5.1 Quick Volume/Raid Setup

“Quick Volume/RAID Setup” is the fastest way to prepare a RAID set and

volume set. It requires only a few keystrokes to complete. Although disk drives

of different capacity may be used in the RAID Set, it will use the capacity of the

smallest disk drive as the capacity of all disk drives in the RAID Set. The “Quick

Volume/RAID Setup” option creates a RAID set with the following properties:

(1). All of the physical disk drives are contained in one RAID set.

(2). The RAID levels, hot spare, capacity, and stripe size option are selected

during the configuration process.

(3). When a single volume set is created, it can consume all or a portion of the

available disk capacity available in this RAID set.

(4). If you need to add additional volume set, use the main menu “Create

Volume Set” function.
