Configuring for RAID Using the Intel® Application Accelerator

If you already have one hard drive with the operating system installed on it, and you want to add a second hard drive and reconfigure both drives into a RAID volume without losing the existing operating system and any data, you need to use the migrating option (see "Migrating to a RAID Level 0 Configuration" on page 33 or "Migrating to a RAID Level 1 Configuration" on page 34). Create a RAID level 0 volume or RAID level 1 volume only when:

You are adding two new drives to an existing single-drive computer (and the operating system is on the single drive), and you want to configure the two new drives into a RAID volume.

You already have a two-hard drive computer configured into a volume, but you still have some space left on the volume that you want to designate as a second RAID volume.

Creating a RAID Level 0 Configuration

NOTE: When you perform this operation, all data on the RAID drives will be lost.

1Set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see page 30).

2Click Start and point to ProgramsIntel(R) Application AcceleratorIntel Matrix Storage Manager to launch the Intel® Storage Utility.

NOTE: If you do not see an Actions menu option, you have not yet set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see page 30).

3On the Actions menu, select Create RAID Volume to launch the Create RAID Volume Wizard, and then click Next.

4On the Select Volume Location screen, click the first hard drive you want to include in your RAID level 0 volume, and then click the right arrow.

5Click a second hard drive. To add a third hard drive in your RAID level 0 volume, click the right arrow and click on the third drive until three drives appear in the Selected window, and then click Next.

6In the Specify Volume Size window, click the Volume Size desired, and then click Next.

7Click Finish to create the volume, or click Back to make changes.

Creating a RAID Level 1 Configuration

NOTE: When you perform this operation, all data on the RAID drives will be lost.

1Set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see page 30).

2Click the Start button and point to ProgramsIntel(R) Application AcceleratorIntel Matrix Storage Manager to launch the Intel® Storage Utility.
