99• Support for hot device insertion and removal• Automatic resume of rebuilding on restart• Support for manual rebuild• Physical drive roaming• Independent stripe size configuration per logical drive• Ability to create up to eight logical drives per array• Auto-configuration support of newly added physical drive• Support for hotspares• Support for disk coercion• Array initialization support (fast and normal)• Offline data (RAID 1) verification with auto-recovery mechanism• Ability to prioritize configurable tasks (for online rebuild, checkconsistency, migration, and expansion)• Logical drive availability immediately after creation• Variable stripe size options from 8 to 128 KBConfiguring arraysConfigure the physical disk drives in arrays. An array can consist of oneto four physical disk drives, depending on the RAID level. A RAID 0array can consist of one to four physical drives, while a RAID 1 arrayconsists of two. A RAID 10 array consists of four drives.Configuration strategiesYou have two choices when creating a RAID array.• Maximizing fault toleranceYou can maximize fault tolerance to protect against loss of data byusing mirroring. Use mirror configuration (RAID 1) to attain thisobjective.• Maximizing logical drive performanceYou can maximize logical drive performance by using striping.Select striping configuration (RAID 0) to attain this objective.RAID 10 combines both striping and mirroring to provide highdata transfer rates and data redundancy.
