NoLocal Storage—For a diskless server or a SAN only configuration. If you select this option, you
cannotassociate any service profile which uses this policy with a server that has a local disk.
RAID0 Striped—Data is striped across all disks in the array, providing fast throughput. There is
nodata redundancy, and all data is lost if any disk fails.
RAID1 Mirrored—Data is written to two disks, providing complete data redundancy if one disk
fails.The maximum array size is equal to the available space on the smaller of the two drives.
AnyConfiguration—For aserver configurationthat carries forward the local disk configuration
withoutany changes.
NoRAID—For a server configuration that removes the RAID and leaves the disk MBR and payload
unaltered.
