Storage Management – RAID Volume Manager

The MN4L+ LB model equipped with Areca PCI-Express/PCI-X RAID controller.

This “RAID Volume Manager” is to create RAID array with the PCI RAID controller.

Click on the button “Launch RAID Volume Manager” will bring up the Areca Web GUI in a separate window.

For detail how to configure RAID array, please refer to the RAID User Guide.

Remarks:

• If the RAID volume is greater than 2TB, please select the option “64bit LBA” to create volume

• All RAID events will get pass to the NAS server event log.

• If you make any changes on the RAID array, such as: create volume, delete volume, add HotSpare, etc, Click “Restart” at the end so

that those changes will take effect.

After restart, the RAID volume(s) will show up in the “RV Pool” (Raw Volume group), and be ready to be moved to the “PV Pool” (Physical

Volume Group Pool).

NOTE: More information on RV and PV located under Storage Management – Volume Group Manager sections.

Each RAID volume is corresponding to a RV (raw volume) in NAS; Therefore:

• If you have one RAID volume, there is one RV in NAS

• If you have two RAID volumes, there are two RVs in the NAS, and so on.
