Considerations When Configuring RAID Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and the Embedded SATA Controller
NOTE:
The following information applies only if you want to use the embedded SATA controller
in a RAID configuration using Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
NOTICE:
The system does not have RAID drivers that support an embedded SATA controller RAID
configuration in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment. RAID is not enabled even when the System
Setup program RAID option is enabled. RAID can only be enabled and configured from within the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.
When using the embedded SATA controller with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, RAID can only be
enabled and configured through the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system—not at the
system level. Although the RAID option can be selected and enabled in System Setup program and
RAID 0 or RAID 1 can be configured in <Ctrl><a>, RAID drivers are not available for its support
and RAID is not enabled.
See the Red Hat Enterprise Linux documentation for instructions on how to enable and configure
RAID.
