Advanced Installation Steps
Naming the RAID Volume
In Figure 2-4, RAID 0 volume is named Vol ume1 . By default, the first RAID volume name will
always appear as Volu me 1. You are free to rename the RAID volume providing it starts with an
alpha character between A and Z in upper or lower case and does not exceed the 15 character limit.
The name may include an “_” (underscore) character. Rename the existing volume name if needed.
ChoosingtheSizeoftheRAIDVolume
In Figure 2-4, the maximum volume size available (by default the maximum size always appears),
21455, has been selected. Another way to allocate the maximum size available to a RAID volume
is to enter a size value of 0. A value of 0 will automatically allocate all available space to a new
RAID volume. Enter the appropriate volume size.
Choosing the RAID Volume as a Boot Device
In Figure 2-4, the RAID 0 Volume being created is selected by default to become the boot device.
To select the RAID 0 Volume as a boot device select Yes, or select No to create the volume without
selecting it as the boot device. For more information about selecting a boot device see
Section 2.3.4.3. The RAID 0 confirmation screen appears (Figure 2-5).
Figure 2-4. Create RAID 0 Volume
The Create RAID 0 confirmation screen confirms that the user is creating a RAID 0 volume. If you
are satisfied with the selections you have made for your RAID 0 volume, select Yes and the volume
creation process begins.
