8.1.5 Creating a Virtual Drive using
Advanced Configuration
The advanced configuration procedure provides an easy way to create a new storage
configuration. Advanced configuration gives you greater flexibility than simple
configuration because you can select the drives and the virtual drive parameters when
you create a virtual drive. In addition, you can use the advanced configuration
procedure to create spanned drive groups.
Follow these steps to create a new storage configuration in the advanced configuration
mode. This example shows the configuration of a spanned drive group.
1. Perform either of the following steps to bring up the Configuration wizard:
— Right-click the controller node in the device tree in the left frame of the
MegaRAID Storage Manager window, and select Create Virtual Drive.
— Select the controller node, and select Go To >> Controller >> Create Virtual
Drive in the menu bar, as shown in the following figure.
