Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard (Step 1 of 4)

Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide

Does my controller support this feature? See "Appendix: Supported Features."

The Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard allows you to specify the read, write, and cache policy for the virtual disk. You can also select the physical disks and the controller connector to be used. You need a good knowledge of RAID levels and hardware to use the Advanced Wizard.

Before creating a virtual disk, you should be familiar with the information in "Considerations Before Creating Virtual Disks". You may also want to review "Choosing RAID Levels and Concatenation".

If you want to have the wizard choose a recommended virtual disk configuration for you, click Go To Express Wizard.
