NOTE Since the HP NetRAID-1 is a single channel adapter, the
HP NetRAID Assistant Main Menu Screen for HP NetRAID-1 contains only
Channel 0 information. Channel 1 and Channel 2 columns do not exist.
Config Menu Options
The following Configuration menu options will assist you in configuring the RAID.
•
Wizard: The Wizard performs an Automatic or Custom Configuration to suit your needs.
The Automatic Configuration allows HP NetRAID Assistant to automatically configure the
RAID subsystem arrays, logical drives, and parameters. The Automatic Configuration default
setting is RAID 5.
The Custom Configuration option allows you to specify the arrays, logical drives, and
parameters that you want.

Display: Displays the current configuration properties:
◊ Logical drives properties: State, RAID Type, Write Policy, Read Policy, Stripe Size,
Number of Stripes, Size (in MB)
◊ Physical drives properties: Rank, Channel, and Target (SCSI)

the adapter’s non-volatile memory. The current RAID configuration becomes invalid after
you select this option. This option should be used only when configuring a new system.
