Creating a RAID 0 Array

Purpose

A RAID array can improve the overall storage and access performance of drives. If an LSI SAS3108, LSI SAS3408 or LSI SAS3508 RAID controller card is used, you are advised to create a single-drive RAID 0 array or a RAID 5 array to fully use the RAID controller card cache (which is 2 GB for the LSI SAS3508 RAID controller) and increase the read/write speed.

Procedure

1. Use the storcli64_arm file to check the creation of the RAID array.

   1	./storcli64_arm /c0 show

   

   Download the storcli64_arm file and run it in any directory.

2. Create a RAID 0 and run the command to create a RAID 0 for the second 1.2 TB drive. c0 indicates the ID of the RAID controller card, and r0 indicates RAID 0. Perform this operation on all drives except the system drive.

   1	./storcli64_arm /c0 add vd r0 drives=65:1
