Understanding
creating basic arrays: When you group one or more physical drives
together and configure the ServeRAID controller to access them in a particular
pattern, you create a basic array. The maximum number of basic arrays depends on
the controller and RAID level.
Arrays are used to improve security, performance, and reliability. The amount of
improvement depends on the application programs that you run on the server,
ServeRAID parameters, and the RAID levels that you assign to the logical drives in
your arrays. The ServeRAID software supports RAID levels-0, 1, 1E, 5, 5E, and 6.
(Not all RAID levels are supported by all controllers.)
