2. Press F2 to create a RAID set.

3. Press F3 to create a Mirrored-Striped set.

4. Press A to Auto configure.

5. Press Y to accept the configuration.

6. Press ESC to reboot.

2-6 Creating a Spare Drive

The RAID BIOS utility has the option of designating a hard drive

as SPARE. When a hard drive failure occurs in a RAID 1 set the

Auto-rebuild feature enables a drive designated as SPARE to

become the new member of the mirror set. The RAID BIOS then

automatically rebuilds the mirror with the new member drive. The

Spare drive must be equal to or larger than the Mirrored set size.

1. At boot up press F3 to enter the RAID BIOS utility.

2. Press F3 to create a spare drive.

3. Enter the drive number of the hard drive.

4. Press Y to confirm your choice. The spare drive will be

created and listed as the last Set.

5. Press ESC to exit the RAID utility.

The Spare drive is now ready to replace a failed drive.

2-7 Resolving Conflicts

When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk

includes drive connection information (Primary Master, Primary

Slave, Secondary Master, Secondary Slave). If, after a disk failure,

the replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in

another system), it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in

reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will

prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt, in order

for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata must be

first overwritten with the new metadata. To resolve this, press F4,

the correct metadata, including the correct drive connection

information, will be written to the replacement disk.
