Configuring RAID using the operating system deployment wizard

To configure RAID using the OS Deployment page:
NOTE: Using the operating-system deployment wizard, you can use the RAID controller to configure a single virtual disk as the boot device. Create the boot virtual-disk only using the drives populated in slots 0-3. For more information about the slots, see the documentation of your system at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
NOTE: To create multiple virtual disks, use the RAID configuration wizard. Depending on the RAID controller, you can access the RAID configuration utility by pressing Control+R or F2 at the POST screen. For more information about using the RAID configuration utility, see the documentation of your system at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
  1. Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
  2. In the left pane, click OS Deployment.
  3. On the OS Deployment page, click Deploy OS.
  4. On the Deploy OS page, click Configure RAID First, and then click Next.
    The storage controllers available for configuration are displayed in the RAID Configuration page.
    NOTE: Make sure that the selected controller is not in a non-RAID mode.
  5. Select a storage controller.
    The RAID configuration options are displayed.
  6. Follow the instruction on the screen, complete the RAID setting tasks, and then click Finish.
    The RAID configuration is applied to the virtual disks, and the Select an Operating System page is displayed. You can proceed with installing the operating system. For information on installing the operating system, see Installing An Operating System.
