Appendix A: Creating a Virtual Drive
Using Advanced
Configuration
The advanced configuration procedure provides an easy way to create a new storage
configuration. Advanced configuration gives you greater flexibility than simple
configuration because you can select the drives and the virtual drive parameters when you
create a virtual drive. In addition, you can use the advanced configuration procedure to
create spanned drive groups.
Note: Depending on diff
erent versions of utility, the steps in the screenshots may change, and the
following sections are for reference purpose.
Follow these steps to create a new storage con
figuration in the advanced configuration
mode. In this example, we will create a spanned drive group.
1. Perform either of the following steps:
— Right click on the controller
node in the device tree in the left frame of the
Intel
®
RAID Web Console 2 window and select Create Virtual Drive
— Select the controller node and select Oper
ations -> Create Virtual Drive in
the menu bar, as shown in Figure 175.
