Chapter 6: MegaRAID Window and Menus
Follow these steps to create a new storage configuration in Guided Configuration mode:
1. Select a redundancy option at the top of the GUIDED CONFIGURATION screen:
•Redundancy Only: This option creates a configuration only if redundancy
(RAID 1 or RAID 5) is possible.
•Redundancy When Possible: This option creates a redundant configuration if
possible. Otherwise, this creates a non-redundant configuration.
•No Redundancy: This option creates a non-redundant configuration.
2. Choose whether you want to use existing arrays in the new virtual disk. The options
are:
• Use Existing Arrays Only
• Don’t Use Existing Arrays
• Use Existing and New Arrays
The first and third options are disabled if there are no available existing arrays.
3. Select a maximum number of virtual disks to be created. The Configuration Wizard
may not be able to create as many virtual disks as you want, depending on the
current configuration and the number of virtual disks that have already been
created.
