WD RAID Storage Utility
The WD RAID Storage Utility allows you to configure and maintain the RAID storage on your
WD Sentinel server.
Accessing the WD RAID Storage Utility
There are two main ways to access the WD RAID Storage Utility:
Initially, when setting up your drives, you’re able to access the utility from the
Dashboard Home page by clicking Setting up your drives in the Task pane and
Selecting RAID from the Set Up your Drives wizard.
Once your drives have been setup for RAID storage, you can access the utility
from the Dashboard Storage tab by selecting Configure in the Internal Storage
area.
On your WD Sentinel server desktop, double-click the WD RAID Storage Utility
icon in the Windows tray.
Using the Home Page
The Home page allows you to access the tasks and information that help you configure and
manage your WD Sentinel server RAID storage.
