Additional RAID Information
OS Installation
The above steps document the process for setting up a hardware RAID array using the tools provided
by the hardware RAID adapter. After this setup process is complete, an operating system can be
installed. If the user does not wish to have the RAID array be bootable, a separate SATA or SAS boot
disk can be used, and the RAID array can be a separate disk group for data storage only. During
operating system installation, the configured RAID array will be recognized as a logical disk group,
and can be set up and partitioned as desired. (Pay attention to the OS partitioning plan during
installation, or you might end up installing part of the OS on what you intended to be a data RAID.)
NOTE:
The Z200 and Z200 SFF Workstations do not support SAS drives and thus do not support
hardware RAID. (Software RAID is supported on these workstations.)
