VAIO Recovery: RAID Options
The following VAIO Recovery options are only available for the XL2A
computer.

Reconfigure RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) refers to the combining of two
or more independent hard disks working in parallel to form a single logical
array that stores data along with additional redundancy information.
Sony recommends using the Intel Matrix Storage Driver/Console to manage
your RAID array.
To access the Intel Matrix Storage Console
1 Start the VAIO Recovery program. See the VAIO Recovery Guide, “Start VAIO
Recovery.”
2 From the VAIO Recovery menu screen, click Reconfigure RAID . The
introductory screen for Reconfigure RAID appears.
3 Click Go to Intel Matrix Storage Console.
One of the following three events occurs:
• VAIO Recovery detects the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Console program and
automatically starts the program. Go to “Intel Matrix Storage Console” on
the next page.
• VAIO Recovery detects Windows is not installed. A message displays
telling you the process cannot continue and directs you to go to Restore
