Configuring RAID

If your system has one or more supported PERC RAID controllers with PERC 8 firmware or later, or software RAID controllers, use the RAID Configuration wizard to configure a virtual disk as the boot device.

NOTE: Create boot virtual disk only from disk drive populated across slots 0–3 of the system. For slot information, see the server Owner’s Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

NOTE: If there are any internal storage controller cards on the system, all other external cards cannot be configured. The external cards can be configured only if there are no internal cards.

To configure RAID:

Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
In the left pane, click Hardware Configuration.
In the right pane, click Configuration Wizards.
Under Storage Configuration Wizards, click RAID Configuration to launch the wizard. The View Current RAID Configuration and Select Controller page is displayed.
Select the controller and click Next. The Select RAID Level page is displayed.
Select the RAID level and click Next. The Select Physical Disks page is displayed.
Select the physical disk's properties and click Next. The Virtual Disk Attributes page is displayed.
Select the virtual disk parameters and click Next. The Summary page is displayed.
To apply the RAID configuration, click Finish.
