Marvell RAID Utility User Guide
2-9
2 USING THE SOFTWARE
The Marvell RAID Utility (MRU) creates and manages logical drives on your computer by
using RAID technology. RAID allows multiple physical drives to be combined together to
create a logical drive. Logical drives can continuously protect critical data and improve
performance depending on which RAID level you choose. For more information, see
Comparing RAID Levels on page 4-39.
Although most functions pertaining to creating and managing logical drives can be performed
using the Marvell BIOS Configuration or the Marvell CLI, the MRU GUI offers additional
capabilities. The GUI is an easy-to-use customization tool for managing logical drives.
This chapter describes the options available in the MRU for creating and managing logical
drives. The topics included in this chapter are:
 GUI Overview
 Viewing and Creating a Logical Drive
 Modifying a Logical Drive
 Deleting a Logical Drive
 Rebuilding a Logical Drive
 Initializing a Logical Drive
 Checking the Integrity of a Logical Drive
