Dell FL100, FE100 manual Adding a Third NIC to a Cluster Node

If you cannot determine the RAID level using Disk Management, you can use the Dell OpenManage Data Agent Configurator to view the RAID configuration of each volume.

To view the RAID configuration of a volume using Data Agent Configurator, perform the following steps:

1.Start the Dell OpenManage Data Agent Configurator.

A window appears listing all available disk volumes and their associated RAID levels.

Data Agent Configurator and Disk Management scan the disk volumes in the same order—from top to bottom—so you can map drive letters from Disk Management to the RAID volumes displayed in Data Agent Configurator.
