You can configure RAID drive groups and virtual drives to create storage 

configurations on systems with LSI SAS controllers.
To create a storage configuration: 

1.   In the VD Mgmt screen, navigate to the controller and press the <F2> key.
2.   Press <Enter>. The Create New VD screen appears. 

You can use the Create New VD dialog to create virtual drives for Unconfigured 

Good drives. To create virtual drives for existing drive groups, navigate to a 

drive group and press the <F2> key to view the Add VD in Drive Group dialog. 

The fields in the Add VD in Drive Group dialog are the same as in the Create 

 dialog.

3.   Select a RAID level for the drive group from the RAID Level field.
4.  All the available unconfigured good drives appear in the Drives box. Select 

the physical drives that you prefer.

5.   You can enter a size less than the maximum size of the drive group, if you 

want to create other virtual drives on the same drive group. The maximum 

size of the drive group appears in the Size field. Before entering a size, 

ensure that you have deleted the previous default value by using the 

<Backspace> key.

6.   Enter a name for the virtual drive in the Name field. The name given to the 

virtual drive cannot exceed 15 characters. 

7.   Press OK.
