Using Automatic Configuration Follow these instructions to create a configuration with automatic configuration, either with or without redundancy: 1. When WebBIOS displays the proposed new configuration, review the information on the screen, and click Accept to accept it. (Or click Back to go back and change the configuration.) • RAID 0: If you selected Automatic Configuration and No Redundancy, WebBIOS creates a RAID 0 configuration. • RAID 1: If you selected Automatic Configuration and Redundancy when possible, WebBIOS creates a RAID 1 configuration if only two disk drives are available. • RAID 5: If you selected Automatic Configuration and Redundancy when possible, WebBIOS creates a RAID 5 configuration if three or more disk drives are available. 2. Click Yes when you are prompted to save the configuration. 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 Configuration: 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 Configuration and click Next, the Drive Group Definition screen appears. You use this screen to select drives to create drive groups. 1. Hold 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. 2. Click Add To Array to move the drives to a proposed drive group configuration in the Drive Groups panel on the right, as shown in the right figure. If you need to undo the changes, click the Reclaim button. ASUS PIKE 2008/IMR 2-9

Using Automatic Configuration
Follow these instructions to create a configuration with automatic configuration,
either with or without redundancy:
1.
When WebBIOS displays the proposed new configuration, review the
information on the screen, and click
Accept
to accept it. (Or click
Back
to go
back and change the configuration.)
•
RAID 0:
If you selected
Automatic Configuration
and
No
Redundancy
, WebBIOS creates a RAID 0 configuration.
•
RAID 1:
If you selected
Automatic Configuration
and
Redundancy
when possible
, WebBIOS creates a RAID 1 configuration if only two
disk drives are available.
•
RAID 5:
If you selected
Automatic Configuration
and
Redundancy
when possible
, WebBIOS creates a RAID 5 configuration if three or
more disk drives are available.
2.
Click
Yes
when you are prompted to save the configuration.
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 Configuration: 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 Configuration
and click
Next
, the Drive Group Definition
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.
2.
Click
Add To Array
to move the
drives to a proposed drive group
configuration in the Drive Groups
panel on the right, as shown in the
right figure.
If you need to undo the changes, click the
Reclaim
button.
