Configuration Step:
 
This chapter explains how to prepare and configure RAID volumes that are ultimately mapped to 
the various IP services advertised on the ATCA-S201 ATCA carrier board.  These virtual RAID 
volumes are created from in-chassis storage pools comprised of AMC modules with SAS or SATA 
disks.  Hardware RAID services are available for disk striping (RAID0) and extended volume 
mirroring (RAID1, RAID1E). Software RAID services are available for parity based disk striping 
algorithms including RAID4, RAID5 and RAID6. The Software RAID features of this product can 
provide better capacity utilization efficiency, but can consume a greater percentage of CPU and 
system memory bandwidth. 
NOTE: If RAID is not needed, please proceed to the next chapter.

5.1  Hardware RAID configuration 
Administrators will use two inter-related menus to enable and configure the 
hardware RAID features of 
ATCA-S201
.  These configuration tools appear within the 
html tool’s main navigation panel on the left side as shown in the figure below.

NOTE: Hardware RAID should be applied before defining volume groups using the 
logical volume manager (LVM).
