RAID

Creating Manager

RAID has different levels (such as RAID5, RAID6). Each level has different data protection, data availability, and performance grade. You can manually create RAID or just one click one button to create RAID. For create RAID function, you can select the physical HDD that does not included in the RAID group or the created disk array to create a RAID5. You can refer to the following situations:

• There is no RAID, no hotspare disk: System directly creates the RAID5 and creates one hotspare disk at the same time.
• There is no RAID, but there is a hotspare disk: System creates the RAID5 only. It uses previous hotspare disk.
• There is RAID: System cancel the previous RAID setup and then create the new RAID5. System creates the hotspare disk if there is no one. System uses previous hotspare disk if there is hotspare disk available.
• The background will format the virtual disk.

You can create different types of RAID as needed.
