Using the RAID Configuration Utility program

Use the RAID Configuration Utility programs to perform the following tasks:

vConfigure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array

vView or change the RAID configuration and associated devices

When you are using the RAID Configuration Utility programs to configure and manage arrays, consider the following information:

vHard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.

vTo help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data rates.

vTo update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID SAS controller, you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID controller.
