4.4 Create RAID Units

Use the RAID manager to build a disk array, when a hardware RAID controller is installed in Open-E iSCSI. To create disk arrays utilize 3ware RAID manager (3DM or 3DM2) for RAID controllers series 7000/8000/9000. Use an ICP console for INTEL / ICP Vortex RAID controllers. For any additional information refer to a RAID controller user manual. You can use also storage devices connected to a Fibre Channel.

If the hardware RAID controller is not installed, you can use software RAID, select “RAID FC” in the menu and then “S/W RAID”.

You will find a list of any available disk drives (units).

To create a disk array, please mark any selected unit(s) and choose the appropriate RAID from the “destination”. Created RAID units appear as RAID 0, 1, 5 and 6.

After clicking “create” button, the status will change to “in use” with additional information describing the kind of a disk array (e.g. MD0 is RAID 1)
