6.6Creating a RAID Set

As stated earlier, the DVAS is shipped with drives preconfigured for RAID. However, if any of the following occurs, you must create a RAID set.

New drives have been added, and are to be part of the RAID set.

The RAID set was destroyed (this could happen if two or more drives failed at the same time).

To create a RAID set, the default volume and RAID set must be deleted. To do this, click RAID, on the left-hand side of the main page, and select the Delete Volume tab from the top bar.

The configured volumes will be listed. Click the radio button of the volume to be deleted, then Delete Volume. Respond to the confirmation message as it appears.

When the new page is displayed, click Delete Array. Click the radio button of the array to be deleted, then click Delete RAID Array.

NOTE: Only one array can be deleted at a time.

When prompted, confirm the deletion by clicking the tick box in the center of the screen, then Confirm Delete Command. To cancel the command, click CANCEL Delete.

Select the Add Array tab.

Choose the RAID level that best suits your application via the drop down menu.

Select Stripe Size

Current DVRs require a stripe size of 64KB, although future products may require a different setting. Use the drop down menu to select the desired stripe size for the array.

Once all settings are complete, press Create RAID Set to continue.
