Lsi9260-8 I RAID creation process

Time:10-13

Enter the user name and password, username and password is the machine log in user name and password, other default,

After the admin interface,

The first interface (Dashboard) is an array display card information

The second interface (Physical) shows the Physical hard disk information

The third interface (Logical) show that the virtual disk information

The diagram below:



Now set up disk array

Choose the physical build array



Did not conduct any operation of hard disk shows uncomfigured Good, some hard disk shows Foreign, if shows the Foreign need to first choose blue right-click to choose Scan Foreign Configuration and then select the Clear back to your hard drive without Configuration mode

The diagram below:





Click YES when disk back without configuration mode,

After followed by structures, disk arrays, right-click select Create Virtual Drive after you can see the following interface



And then select the Advanced mode (in this mode the user can customize all parameters of disk array, disk array can let produce the best performance) click NEXT to enter choose disk array way below



For RAID5 (for example) to choose good after array way began to choose you need to set up the array disk



Click Add selected disk after the selected disk will be displayed again to the right of the small box below:



Then click on the Create Drive Group array can have finished click NEXT to enter the NEXT interface, this interface is for you of the disk array for more details on the setting, the diagram below:



Here I only initialization method of disk array, the array cache and write back to set the array initialization setting here recommend the use of Full initialization is to set up a complete process of array, choose the initialization is set up to pay attention to in the process of initialization is not on the disk array format or read and write operations, Fast initialization is to to manipulate yes when the disk array can be formatted or read and write operations, but in the process of initialization will affect the speed of disk array, speaking, reading and writing, No initialization is not initialized, choose this option is not recommended, because do not initialize the disk array of safety factor is quite low, with the risk of data unrecoverable, please be careful! The diagram below:



Then the Strip size inside the Settings option 1 m so that we can speed up the disk array, speaking, reading and writing, in order to improve the Write speed of disk array we need to open the Back Write choice Always Write Back Always Write Back so it can improve the disk Write speed of array below:



After setting the three option click the create virtual drive will be select YES OR NO option here, of course, select YES to create success, to enter the next step is as follows:



Click Finish your disk array is completely build succeeded,

Now back to the Dashboard interface can see the percentage of your disk array initialization state (Foreground the Initialize box at the bottom of the strip is the percentage of state) below:



Disk array initialization time is based on what the disk and the capacity to identify, in order to guarantee the disk array is not abnormal in the later use phase, it is best to wait after initialization in the disk array,

Now look at the state of the disk array, if build disk array of disk is in normal operation, then all the hard disk at the back of the state is online. The following figure:



If there is abnormal array in a work card need to replace array CARDS, so the replacement array card later we will need a few simple array card set, when after the replacement of well array CARDS, enter the management interface will find that all the front disk will have an arrow symbol, the figure below:



As right choose to Scan the Foreign Configuration will pop up a box after the prompt, choose the first Import prompted box select Accept after clicking OK, the diagram below:



Select the Accept and then you will be presented with prompt dialog box select YES below:
