In addition, they support some combination of these configuration and
control applications (for details, see Tabl e 1.2):
• MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility (CU). Used to create arrays
and hot spares, define and initialize logical drives, view properties of
logical drives, controllers, and arrays, rebuild failed drives, and verify
data redundancy in RAID 1, 5, 10, or 50 logical drives.
This is a BIOS-resident utility. Start the utility by pressing CTRL+M

• WebBIOS Configuration Utility (CU). Offers the same feature set
as the MegaRAID BIOS CU. This is an HTML-based, BIOS-resident
utility. Start the utility by pressing CTRL+H during system boot.
• MegaRAID Manager. Offers the same feature set as the MegaRAID
BIOS CU. This utility runs under the operating system.
• Power Console Plus tool. This is an object-oriented GUI utility that
configures and monitors RAID systems locally or over a network.
Offers the same feature set as the MegaRAID BIOS CU, plus these
RAID migration features that can be used while the system remains
operational:
– Adding a drive to a RAID logical drive
– Converting from a RAID 0 configuration to a RAID 1 or 5
configuration by adding a physical drive
– Changing a Degraded redundant logical drive to an Optimal
