If you select Automatic Conguration, you can choose the redundancy mode:
• Redundancy when possible: Automatically creates an optimal RAID
conguration, providing data redundancy.
• No Redundancy: Automatically creates a non-redundant RAID 0
conguration.
5. Click Next to continue.
Using Automatic Conguration
Follow these instructions to create a conguration with automatic conguration,
either with or without redundancy:
1. When WebBIOS displays the proposed new conguration, review the
information on the screen, and click Accept to accept it. (Or click Back to go
back and change the conguration.)
• RAID 0: If you selected Automatic Conguration and No
Redundancy, WebBIOS creates a RAID 0 conguration.
• RAID 1: If you selected Automatic Conguration and Redundancy
when possible, WebBIOS creates a RAID 1 conguration if only two
disk drives are available.
• RAID 6: If you selected Automatic Conguration and Redundancy
when possible, WebBIOS creates a RAID 6 conguration if three or
more disk drives are available.
2. Click Yes when you are prompted to save the conguration.
3. Click Yes when you are prompted to initialize the new virtual drive(s).
WebBIOS CU begins a background initialization of the virtual drives.
Using Manual Conguration: RAID 0
RAID 0 provides drive striping across all drives in the RAID drive group. RAID
0 does not provide any data redundancy but does offer excellent performance.
RAID 0 is ideal for applications that require high bandwidth but do not require fault
tolerance. RAID 0 also denotes an independent or single drive.
RAID level 0 is not fault-tolerant. If a drive in a RAID 0 drive group fails, the
whole virtual drive (all drives associated with the virtual drive) fails.
When you select Manual Conguration and click Next, the Drive Group Denition
screen appears. You use this screen to select drives to create drive groups.
1. Hold <Ctrl> while selecting two or more ready drives in the Drives panel on
the left until you have selected all desired drives for the drive group.
