Creating a RAID 0+1 Array

You must assign four drives to an array before this feature becomes available.

Assigning Drives to a RAID 0+1 Array

Under the Drive Assignments section, highlight a drive and, with the Spacebar,

change the Assignment option to Y to add the drive to the disk array. Continue to

add drives to the array until you assigned all four drives. Press the up arrow to

move to RAID Mode.

Defining the Array as a RAID 0+1

In the Define Array Definition Menu section, press the Spacebar to cycle through

array types and select RAID 0+1 for RAID Level. You will be creating two pairs of

striped drives with identical data on them. The capacity of the array will be half

that of the total number of mirrored drives within the array.

Save the information with Ctrl-Y. FastBuild automatically creates the RAID 0+1

array and returns you to the Define Array Menu where the array will be shown.

Changing the Stripe Block Size

For RAID 0+1 arrays, FastTrak allows you to change the stripe block size. The

default is 64K. Press the Arrow keys to highlight the field and the Spacebar to

cycle through the available size selections (16, 32, or 64K).

Setting the Gigabyte Boundary

For RAID 0+1 arrays, FastTrak allows you to toggle the Gigabyte Boundary ON

or OFF. The default is OFF. To toggle Gigabyte Boundary, press the Arrow keys

to highlight the field and the Spacebar to toggle between ON and OFF.

Save Array Information

Press Ctrl-Y to save the Disk Array Information.
