• Create hot-spare drives • Rebuild failed drives • Verify data redundancy in RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, or 60 virtual drives Intel® RAID Web Console 2 Configuration and Monitoring Utility The Intel® RAID Web Console 2 is an operating system-based, object-oriented GUI utility that configures and monitors RAID systems locally or over a network. The Intel® RAID Web Console 2 runs on each of the supported Microsoft Windows* and Linux operating systems. With the Intel® RAID Web Console 2, you can perform the same tasks as you can with the Intel® RAID BIOS Console 2 or with the Intel® Embedded Server RAID BIOS Configuration utility. In addition, the Intel® RAID Web Console 2 provides on-the-fly RAID migration, creating almost limitless adaptability and expansion of any virtual drive while the system remains operational. The Intel® RAID Web Console 2 allows you to: • Create and manage virtual drives • Add a drive to a RAID virtual drive The following situations assume RAID 0 has one drive and RAID 1 has two drives: • convert from RAID 0 to RAID 1 by adding one additional drive. • convert from RAID 0 to RAID 5 by adding two additional drives. • convert from RAID 0 to RAID 6 by adding three additional drives. • convert from RAID 1 to RAID 0. • convert from RAID 1 to RAID 5 by adding one additional drive. • convert from RAID 1 to RAID 6 by adding two additional drives. • convert from RAID 5 to RAID 0. • convert from RAID 5 to RAID 6 by adding one additional drive. • convert from RAID 6 to RAID 0. • convert from RAID 6 to RAID 5. • convert a degraded RAID into RAID 0. • remove physical drives from a virtual drive. Note: While you can apply RAID-level migration at any time, Intel® recommends that you do so when there are no reboots. Many operating systems issues I/O operations serially (one at a time) during boot. With a RAID-level migration running, a boot can often take more than 15 minutes. Intel® RAID Software User's Guide 29
