5.4.1 Creating a RAID set
To create a RAID set:
1. From the Intel
®
Virtual Raid on CPU menu, select Create RAID Volume and press
<Enter>. The following screen appears:
2. When the Name item is selected, enter a name for the RAID set and press <Enter>.
3. When the RAID Level item is selected, press <Enter> to select the RAID level to
create, and then press <Enter>.
4. When the Enable RAID spanned over VMD Controllers item is selected, press
<Enter> and select X to enable this function.
5. Under Select Disks, press <Enter> and select X for the disks you want to include in the
RAID set.
6. When the Strip Size item is selected, press <Enter> to select strip size for the RAID
array (for RAID 0, 10 and 5 only), and then press <Enter>. The available strip size
values range from 4 KB to 128 KB. The following are typical values:
- RAID 0: 128 KB
- RAID 10: 64 KB
- RAID 5: 64 KB
We recommend a lower strip size for server systems, and a higher strip size for multimedia
computer systems used mainly for audio and video editing.
