Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration Version 3.3 for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager User's Guide

Creating a RAID Profile using Array Builder

1. Launch the System Viewer utility, click RAID Configuration > Create RAID Profile.
   When you launch the Array Builder, a default embedded controller is created.
2. Type the configuration rule name in the Configuration rule name field.
3. Select Error handling rule from the drop-down menu. You can choose from:
   • Fail the task if any controller does not match a configuration rule — Reports a failure if any of the detected controllers are not configurable by a rule.
   • Fail the task only if the first controller does not match a configuration rule — Reports a failure if the first controller detected (usually the embedded controller) is not configurable by a rule.
   • Fail the task only if none of the array controllers match a configuration rule — Reports a failure only if all of the controllers in the system fail to match a rule; in other words, none of the controllers are configured. This rule also fails if a controller does not have sufficient disks to configure a RAID.
4. You can:
   • Add new controllers and define rules for them, or edit the default controller and define the rules. For more information, see Controllers.
   • Add or edit variable conditions for the default controller or the controller that you add. For more information, see Variable conditions.
   • Create new arrays from a variable condition, if required. For more information, see Arrays.
   • You can create an array, add additional disks, hot spares, or global hot spares to the array.
5. Click Save to save the profile as a .XML file.
