Configuring RAID System Easily
The Universal RAID Utility supports the Easy Configuration function allowing configurations such as creating Logical
Drive and making a Hot Spare to be provided in the state where unused Physical Devices are connected to RAID
Controllers.
If you decide the number of Physical Devices used for data storage (or the number of Physical Devices configuring
Logical Drives) and the number of Physical Devices used as Hot Spares among unused Physical Devices connected to
RAID Controllers, the Universal RAID Utility automatically configure the RAID System.
The benefits of configuring a RAID System by using the Easy Configuration are as follows. The Universal RAID Utility
performs the jobs which must be examined and manipulated to configure a RAID System instead.
Allowing a RAID System to be configured only by specifying three items, or a RAID Controller, the number of Physical
Devices used for Logical Drives and the number of Logical Drives to be created.
Allowing the Universal RAID Utility to set all the items associated with Logical Drives (including RAID Level, Capacity, and
Stripe Size) automatically.
Allowing more than one Logical Drive to be created at a time.
Making Dedicated Hot Spares for Logical Drives automatically created by Universal RAID Utility if Physical Devices are left
for Hot Spares.
