When a group of independent physical hard disk drives are set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID array. This array distributes data across multiple hard disk drives, but the array appears to the host server as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the expedited I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.
• RAID 50: a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 5 RAID 50 uses distributed parity and disk striping. A RAID 50 drive group is a spanned drive group in which data is striped across multiple RAID 5 drive groups. RAID 50 works best with data that requires high reliability, high request rates, high data transfers, and medium-to-large capacity. Note: Having virtual drives of different RAID levels, such as RAID 0 and RAID 5, in the same drive group is not allowed.
Before configuring RAID for your server, observe the following precautions: • Use hard disk drives that are of the same type (SATA or SAS) and have the same capacity within a single RAID array. • The total drive capacity of the primary RAID array might be limited to 2 TB. RAID array status When you turn on the server, the RAID controller ROM version, the RAID array status, and the list of the available hard disk drives will be displayed during the POST.
After entering the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program, you can see the Management Menu on the screen. The Management Menu contains the following menu items: • Configure This menu contains items to help you create a RAID array, view the current RAID configuration, add a new RAID array, delete an existing RAID array, and select a boot virtual drive. • Initialize This menu helps you initialize virtual drives. Note: Initializing a virtual drive erases all data on the virtual drive.
Creating, adding, or deleting a RAID array This topic provides instructions on how to create, add, or delete a RAID array using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program. Note: Before you create a RAID array using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program, ensure that the server meets the required hardware configuration. For example, the server needs to have the required number of hard disk drives installed and connected to the system board.
To initialize a virtual drive using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program, do the following: 1. Start the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program. See “Starting the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program” on page 61. 2. On the main interface of the program, select Initialize and follow the instructions on the screen.
To configure the rebuild rate using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program, do the following: Note: Using a rebuild rate of 0 or 100 percent is not recommended. The default value is 30 percent. 1. Start the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program. See “Starting the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program” on page 61. 2. On the main interface of the program, select Objects ➙ Adapter ➙ Rebuild Rate. 3. Set the rebuild rate by typing a desired value from the keyboard directly.
