For the PERC
S110 and S130 controllers, make sure to change the SATA settings in
the system BIOS to RAID Mode. To change this
setting using the BIOS, the latest BIOS version must be installed.
For more information about the BIOS versions for different systems,
see the Lifecycle Controller Release Notes at www.dell.com/support/home.
NOTE: For more information
about RAID configuration, see the Creating RAID using Lifecycle
Controller white paper at www.delltechcenter.com/lc.
NOTE: If you
have an older BIOS, you can configure RAID only through Option ROM.
Use this feature
to configure RAID, if a PERC S110 or S130 controller is enabled on
the system. If you select the software RAID option, you cannot create
partial virtual disk through Lifecycle Controller interface and it
displays the physical disk-drives as Non-RAID disks or RAID-ready
disks.
Non-RAID disk — A single disk-drive without any RAID
properties. Needs initialization to apply RAID levels.
RAID-ready disk — The disk drive is initialized and
a RAID level can be applied.
NOTE: From Lifecycle Controller
UI, you can deploy only Windows server operating system using software
RAID controller.
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.
If the non-RAID disk drives are attached to
the selected controller, select the non-RAID physical disk-drives,
and then click Next to initialize them. Else,
the Select RAID Level page is displayed.
NOTE: During initialization,
all the data on the non-RAID disk drives are deleted.
Select the RAID level and click Next.
The Select Physical Disks page is displayed.
Select the physical disk 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.
