2-8 Chapter 2: RAID conguration
2.2.3 Creating a Storage Conguration
This section explains how to use the WebBIOS CU Conguration Wizard to
congure RAID arrays and virtual drives to create storage congurations.
The default settings of the conguration items mentioned in this section are
subject to change without notice, but the functions of the items will not be
affected.
Selecting the Conguration with the Conguration Wizard
Follow these steps to start the Conguration Wizard, and select a conguration
option and mode:
1. Click Conguration Wizard on
the WebBIOS main screen. The
rst Conguration Wizard screen
appears, as shown in the right
gure.
2. Select a conguration option.
If you choose the rst or second option, all existing data in the conguration
will be deleted. Make a backup of any data that you want to keep before you
choose an option.
• Clear Conguration: Clears the existing conguration.
• New Conguration: Clears the existing conguration and lets you
create a new conguration.
• Add Conguration: Retains the existing storage conguration and adds
new drives to it (this does not cause any data loss).
3. Click Next. A dialog box warns that you will lose data if you select Clear
Conguration or New Conguration.
4. On the next screen, select a conguration mode:
• Manual Conguration: Allows you to control all attributes of the new
storage conguration.
• Automatic Conguration: Automatically creates an optimal RAID
conguration.
