Configuring RAID
NOTE: Binding destroys all user data on the disks.
1. In the Storage Utility main window, identify bound RANKs and unbound disks by
their placement in the hierarchy of the tree view. In the following illustration, disk
numbers are represented by “XX”. Refer to
“Identifying disks” on page 451 for an
explanation of how disks are actually numbered in Storage Utility.
NL10 systems store media files across both the primary RAID chassis and the
optional Expansion chassis.
NL10R systems also store media files across both the primary RAID chassis and
the optional Expansion chassis. In addition, metadata files and journal files are
mixed in with the media files.
The RAID configuration is the same on all chassis. Each chassis contains SATA
disks, which are bound as RAID 6 in a RANK of twelve disks. One twelve disk
RANK fills one chassis.
2. To bind SATA disks for media file storage, do the following:
a. Right-click the Unbound node for a controller, then select Bind in the context
menu. (If the RAID chassis has two controllers, both controllers are represented
by the single “Controller” node)
The Bind dialog box opens showing all unbound disks for the controller listed
in the Available Disk list.
