How to set up RAID and how to make a server RAID ?

Want to make an array? Is it necessary?

To upgrade the **RAID driver, make a floppy disk containing RAID driver files, when installing the win2000 xp system, you can press the F6 key to enter the RAID device detection state, the win2000 xp system will automatically detect the floppy drive to complete the loading of the RAID device driver. When the system starts, you can enter RAID management according to the prompt button, and you can create, delete, and rebuild RAID by pressing the prompt button.

Redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID), yes"A redundant array of independent disks"meaning.

The disk array is composed of many cheaper disks combined into a huge capacity of the Hail Sun faction disk group, using individual disks to provide data to produce a bonus effect to improve the performance of the entire disk system. Using this technology, the data is sliced into many segments and stored on separate hard drives.

Disk arrays can also use the concept of parity check, which can still read data in the event of a failure of any hard disk in the array, and when the data is reconstructed, the data will be calculated and re-placed into a new hard drive.

The disk array is connected to the host directly outside the host or over the network as a stand-alone system. A disk array has multiple ports that can be connected by different hosts or different ports. A host connects different ports to the array to increase transfer speeds.

Just like the integrated cache on a single disk for PCs at the time, there is a certain amount of buffer memory inside the disk array to speed up the interaction with the host. The host interacts with the disk array's cache, and the cache interacts with the specific disk data.

In the application, there are some commonly used data that need to be read frequently, and the disk array finds out the data that is often read by the Kaizhi according to the internal algorithm, and stores it in the cache to speed up the host to read these data sources, and for the data that is not in other caches, the host wants to read it, and the array directly reads and transmits it to the host from the disk. For data written by the host, it is only written to the cache, and the host can complete the write operation immediately. It is then slowly written to disk from the cache.

The specific steps are as follows:

1. When the server is powered on, you see the Ctrl+R prompt, press Ctrl+R to enter the adapter configuration flushing interface, as shown in the following figure.

2. Then press CTRL+N to go to PD MGMT to check the information of the hard disk, as shown in the figure below, and confirm the status of the hard disk: ready.

3. Finally, move the cursor to the hard disk to be configured, press the F2 button, and select Convert to Non-Raid. That's it.
