Choosing the Configuration Method Automatic Configuration In Automatic Configuration, the MegaRAID controller examines the physical drives connected to it and automatically configures them into arrays and logical drives. If logical drives have already been configured when you select Auto Configuration, the configuration information is not disturbed. See page 68 for additional information. Easy Configuration In Easy Configuration, each physical array you create is associated with exactly one logical drive, and you can modify the following parameters: • RAID level • stripe size • cache write policy • read policy • I/O policy If logical drives have already been configured when you select Easy Configuration, the configuration information is not disturbed. See page 69 for instructions on Easy Configuration. New Configuration In New Configuration, you can modify the following logical drive parameters: • RAID level • stripe size • cache write policy • read policy • I/O policy • logical drive size • spanning of arrays If you select New Configuration, the existing configuration information on the selected controller is destroyed when the new configuration is saved.
