Server RSV-S8 User Manual

4.2 CREATING RAID GROUPS

To begin creating a new RAID Group, select “Create RAID Group” from the RAID Group menu or right click on a controller in the RAID Groups window and select “Create RAID Group” from the pop-up menu; you can create more than one RAID volume, but five disk drives is the limitation for each RAID volume.

Note: The term “right-click” refers to using the secondary button on your mouse to perform the indicated operation. On a Windows system, use the mouse button that you have defined to be the secondary button (by default, that button is on the right side of the mouse, unless you have reconfigured the primary and secondary mouse buttons using Control Panel > Mouse). On a Macintosh system, press and hold the Command (Apple) key and click the mouse.

4.2.1 CONTIGUOUS RAID GROUPS

Contiguous RAID Groups allow the user to select a segment of disk drive or a disk drive. Select the disk and enter the desired values and press Create to create the RAID Group (Example below).

4.2.2 CONCATENATED RAID GROUPS

Concatenated RAID Groups allow the user to select different sized segments for each member of the volume. For Concatenated volumes only, a dialog box will appear allowing the user to select the individual segment sizes from each disk. Enter the desired values and press Create to create the RAID Group (Example below).
