4.3Configuring RAID Volumes Using the Intel® Integrated RAID Storage Console

4.3.1Getting Started

Before using the Intel Integrated RAID browser software, do the initial setup and installation of this product. See “Intel® Server RAID Controller U3-1 Setup and Installation” on page 2-21for complete installation instructions.

If you intend to boot the operating system from a RAID volume, you must first create a RAID volume by using the RAID Configuration Utility. Refer to Section 2.3.3, “Creating a RAID Volume in RAID Configuration Utility” on page 2-5for information on creating this initial RAID volume.

Configuration of the Intel Integrated RAID Storage Console is an HTML-based application which utilizes the browser installed on your operating system. Storage Console can be used to create and modify RAID volumes, set the migration rate, add global hot spares and monitor RAID volume status.

Note: Use the confirmation and cancellation buttons in place of the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons on the HTML browser.
