Migration to RAID Matrix Mode (0 + 1) from two non-RAID hard drives
using Matrix Storage Console
The migration process for two hard drives to RAID Matrix Mode (0 + 1) is a very similar to the process
described in the section about migration of three hard drives to matrix mode RAID ( 0 + 5 ). The differ-
ence in the process is selecting two hard drives as part of the volume created and selecting RAID 5
instead of RAID 1.
Installation
HP desktops come with RAID software preinstalled; however, if reinstallation is necessary, use setup in
combination of with the following supported flags:
-?
: The installer presents a dialog showing all the supported setup flags (shown here) and their usage.
-A
: Extracts all files (does not install driver) to <path> if
-P
is also supplied. Otherwise, the files are
extracted to the default location.
-B
: Forces a system reboot after installation.
-O<name>
: Allows for the customization of the program folder name for the Intel(R) Matrix Storage
Console, which appears in
Start > All Programs
.
-P<path>
: Supplies target path when using
-A
flag.
-N
: Installs all components except driver.
-NoGUI
: Installs only the driver. The Intel(R) Matrix Storage Console, Event Monitor, and Tray icon applet
are not installed.
-NoMon
: Disables the Event Monitor which consists of the Disk Monitor Service and the System Tray
Icon Applet.
-S
: Silent install (no user prompts).
-BUILD
: Displays build information.
-G<number>
: Forces a particular language install. There cannot be a space between
-G
and
<num-
ber>.
-f2<path\name>
: Creates a log file in <existing path> with <name>. Use during silent installation.
There cannot be a space between
-F2
and
<path\name>
, and the path must exist prior to installation.
Notes
:
Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive. Flags may be supplied in any order, with the
exception of
-S
and
-G
, which must be supplied last. When using the
-A
flag, a target path may be
specified using the
-P
flag, and the
-O
,
-G
,
-S
, and
-N
flags are ignored. When using the
-P
,
-O
,
-G
and
-f2,
flags there should be no space between the flag and the argument. When using the
-f2
flag,
specify a log file name and path. The path must exist prior to the installation.
