Appendix NVIDIA RAID RAID Arrays This section describes the following types of RAID arrays that NVIDIA RAID supports: v RAID 0 RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves the disk read and write times for many applications. vRAID 1 RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data. vRAID 0+1 RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays. vRAID 5 RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.
Appendix Additional RAID Features NVIDIA RAID offers the following additional features: vFree Disk and Dedicated Spare Disk A Free Disk or Dedicated Disk can be automatically used in case one drive of a fault-tolerant array fails. NVIDIA RAID defines a fault-tolerant array as either RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5. A free disk can be used by any available faulttolerant array, while a dedicated disk can be used only by the array to which it is assigned.
Appendix Basic Configuration Instructions The following are the basic steps for configuring NVIDIA RAID: Non-Bootable RAID Array 1. Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS. 2. Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Stripe Mirroring (RAID 0+1), or Spanning (JBOD) and create the desired RAID array. 3. Install the operating system on one hard disk, then reboot the computer. 4. Run the Windows nForce Setup application and install the RAID driver. 5.
Appendix Setting Up the BIOS 1. Start up the computer, then press Delete to enter the BIOS setup. Select Integrated Peripherals, use the arrow keys to select IDE Function Setup, then press Enter. 2. Use the arrow keys to select the RAID Config, then press Enter. 3. From the RAID Config window, enabled the RAID Enable, the other items would be light, then you can enable the disk that you want to use as RAID disks. 4. Press F10 to save the configuration and exit. 68 PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory" 试用版本创建 www.
Appendix Entering the RAID BIOS Setup 1. After rebooting your PC, wait until you see the RAID software prompting you to press F10. The RAID prompt appears as part of the system POST and boot process prior to loading OS. 2. Press, and the NVIDIA RAID Utility --- Define a New Array window will appear. The default RAID Mode is set to Mirroring and the default Striping Block is set to Optimal.
Appendix In the example above, 1.0.M means the hard drive is attached to Adapter 1, Channel 0, and the drive is set to Master. The following is a list of all possible combinations: Parallel ATA 0.0.M Adapter 0, Channel 0, Master 0.0.S Adapter 0, Channel 0, Slave Serial ATA 1.0.M Adapter 1, Channel 0, Master 1.1.M 2.0.M 2.1.M 3.0.M 3.1.
Appendix • Assigning the Disks The disks that you enabled from the RAID Config BIOS setup page appear in the Free Disks block. These are the drives that are available for use as RAID array. To designate a free disk to be used as a RAID array: 1. Tab to the Free Disks section. The first disk in the list is selected. 2. Move it from the Free Disks block to the Array Disks block by pressing the right arrow key (→).
Appendix 2. Press Y if you want to wipe out all the data from the RAID array, otherwise press N. You must choose Yes if the drives were previously used as RAID drives. The Array List window appears, where you can review the RAID arrays that you have set up. 3. Use the arrow keys to select the array that you want to set up, then press Enter.
