New RAID 5 virtual drives must have at least five drives for a background initialization to start.
The following number of drives is required: If there are fewer drives, the background initialization does not start. New RAID 5 virtual drives and new RAID 6 virtual drives require a minimum number of drives for a background initialization to start. WebBIOS CU begins a background initialization of the virtual drives. Step 3 When you are prompted to initialize the new virtual drives, click Step 2 When you are prompted to save the configuration, click , and the RAID 6 option is enabled, and three or more drives are available, WebBIOS creates a RAID 6 configuration. , and three or more drives are available, WebBIOS creates a RAID 5 configuration. , and only two drives are available, WebBIOS creates a RAID 1 configuration. , WebBIOS creates a RAID 0 configuration. One of the following configuration appears: Step 1 When WebBIOS displays the proposed new configuration, review the information in the window, and click
For Manual Configuration, continue with Using Manual Configuration.
For Automatic Configuration, continue with Using Automatic Configuration.
If you choose Automatic Configuration, you can choose whether to create a redundant RAID drive group or a nonredundant RAID 0 drive group. Automatically creates an optimal RAID configuration. Allows you to control all attributes of the new storage configuration as you create drive groups and virtual drives, and set their parameters. Retains the existing storage configuration and adds new drives to it (this option does not cause any data loss). Clears the existing configuration and allows you to create a new configuration.
