How to use RAID10 for Huawei servers

If the factory configuration has not been changed, the factory configuration can generally be queried on the official website through the serial number of the server, and the configured RAID card model parameters will be indicated.

If the server is allowed to restart, you can use the self-test information to view the RAID card model parameters during the server reboot process.

1. The server supports RAID or external RAID cards.

2. The server supports the installation of 2 or more hard disks.

3. Connect the RAID card and hard disk and turn it on.

4. Pay attention to the on-screen prompt when turning on the computer, and press the corresponding hotkey to enter the RAID control interface.

5. Start making.

6. Some hard disk cards provide programs that can be used to manage the graphical interface when booting.

The RAID operation of the server is basically the same, because there are only a few RAID card brands. When you boot up, press the key combination (usually CTRL-H, CTRL-R, CTRL-I, CTRL-A, etc.) to enter the RAID control interface, find your RAID 5, and find "Add..." in the command menuThen select the new disk, OK, that's it, and restart the machine as prompted. There may be a waiting period of time for the system to write a lot of information to the new disk.

For example, take the Huawei RH2288 server as an example, and perform the following steps:

1. Turn on the computer and press CTRL R according to the on-screen prompts to enter the RAID setting interface.

2. Move the cursor to SAS3108 (bus0x01?) up on F2<>

3. Select the RAID level slowly, and then use the Tab key to switch to the right and press Enter to select all hard disks (check the box in front of the hard disk after it is selected.

An X will appear in the drive to indicate that the hard disk is selected).

After that, I set it up in the basic settings, here I first switch the unit from TB to GB, and then set a 1024GB space, not all the space is used, and the rest of the space can also be made into a disk, also RAID5

4. Use the remaining hard disk capacity.

Do another raid5

5. After the RAID is done, perform a quick initialization.

6. Finally, you can set the first disk as the startup disk. Press Ctrl P to switch between different large tabs and switch to Virtual Driver Management.

7. Restart the server.

Different models have different ways to view:

1.During the POST process of the old model, press the corresponding button according to the prompts to enter the RAID management interface (for example, CTRL+H of LSI).

2.Newer models: After entering the BIOS, go to DeviceManager, select the RAID card, and enter the RAID management interface.

del enters.

Select Device Management.

For example, take the Huawei RH2288 server as an example, and perform the following steps:

1. Press CTRL R to enter the RAID setting interface according to the on-screen prompts2. Move the cursor to SAS3108 (bus0x01...).Press F23, select the RAID level, then use the Tab key to switch to the right and press Enter to select all the drives (when the hard drive is selected, an X will appear in the checkbox in front of it to indicate that the drive is selected).

After that, I set it up in the basic settings, here I first switch the unit from TB to GB, and then set a 1024GB space, not all the space is used, and the rest of the space can also be made into a disk, also RAID5

4. Use the remaining hard disk capacity to make another RAID5

5. After the RAID is done, perform a quick initialization.

6. Finally, you can set the first disk as the startup disk. Press Ctrl P to switch between different large tabs and switch to Virtual Driver Management.

7. Restart the server.

Step 3: The main webbios page is shown in Figure 4-6, with tabs on the left and existing physical disks on the right, and the status of the disks is unconfigured goods (not configured but ready). Click on the "Configuration Wizard" button on the left.

Step 4: In the RAID Card Configuration Wizard, select Add Configuration to add configuration to the existing RAID card system, as shown in Figure 4-7, and click Next.

Your current situation should be RAID1, and the capacity of only 1 hard disk is only 1 hard disk after two hard disks form RAID1.

After the hard disk is made into a RAID, the real hard disk cannot be seen in the operating system, and only the logical hard disk composed of RAID is seen.

For example, if you have two hard disks in RAID 1 and configure all 500G of space into one logical hard drive, you will only see 1 500G C drive.

If you configure this RAID 1 array into two logical hard drives, such as one 200G and one 300G, then you will see two hard disks in the operating system, 200G and 300G.

If you want to redo the RAID, you can look at the on-screen prompt at boot and press a set of hotkeys to enter the RAID hypervisor solidified in the BIOS, and you can configure the RAID. You can delete the original RAID1 RDD and reset the RDD, or you can delete the original RAID1 and change it to RAID0 and configure the RDD.

I'm also just studying RAID.,You must have made the server RAID0 now.,If you want to do RAID, you can only eradicate all the data on your first hard disk.,And then cooperate with the software or RAID card (or the server comes with),You can do RAID.,But the steps are quite complicated.,I can't talk about it in detail.,You search for it on the Internet.。 If you have two hard disks, you can still do RAID 1, you can see the following introduction to choose how many RAID to do.

If you're sure it's two 500g hard drives, and the computer only shows the size of one of them, then you've done a raid.

Do raid1

I suggest you take a look at what raid is first. To do this, you need software or hardware to do a RAID controller!
