There is an application called NVRAIDMAN which helps you perform the following
tasks of nVDIA RAID.
• Viewing RAID Array Configurations
View an array configuration (mirrored, striped, mirror-striped, JBOD, or any sup-
ported combination)
• Setting Up a Spare RAID Disk
• View free and/or dedicated free disks
• Designate a free disk to a particular array
• Creating RAID Arrays
• Deleting a RAID Array
• Morphing From One RAID Array to Another
• Hot Plug Array
• Initializing a RAID Array
• Erase the data on the array by writing all zeros to the sectors of each hard
disk.
• Rebuilding a RAID Mirrored Array
• Rebuild a broken mirrored array
• Watch the progress of rebuilding an array
• Only applies to RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 arrays
• Synchronizing a RAID Array
• Rebuild the redundancy in RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 arrays (copy the data to the
redundant disk—the same operation as rebuilding)

Viewing RAID Array Configurations

To view your RAID configuration from Windows, launch the NVRAID Management
utility by double-clicking NvRaidMan.exe (the default location of NvRaidMan.exe is in
\\nVidia\System\MCP55\IDE\Win2k\raidtool\ of the setup CD accompanied with your
mainboard).
The RAID configuration information appears in the right-side pane, as shown below.
