If you select Automatic Conguration, you can choose the redundancy mode:

• Redundancy when possible: Automatically creates an optimal RAID

conguration, providing data redundancy.

• No Redundancy: Automatically creates a non-redundant RAID 0

conguration.

5. Click Next to continue.

Using Automatic Conguration

Follow these instructions to create a conguration with automatic conguration,

either with or without redundancy:

1. When WebBIOS displays the proposed new conguration, review the

information on the screen, and click Accept to accept it. (Or click Back to go

back and change the conguration.)

• RAID 0: If you selected Automatic Conguration and No

Redundancy, WebBIOS creates a RAID 0 conguration.

• RAID 1: If you selected Automatic Conguration and Redundancy

when possible, WebBIOS creates a RAID 1 conguration if only two

disk drives are available.

• RAID 6: If you selected Automatic Conguration and Redundancy

when possible, WebBIOS creates a RAID 6 conguration if three or

more disk drives are available.

2. Click Yes when you are prompted to save the conguration.

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 Conguration: 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 Conguration and click Next, the Drive Group Denition

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.
