STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION
The RAID controller choices are:
■ Software RAID, implemented using the C600 chipset built-in SAS RAID controller plus LSI
MegaSR (this configuration does not consume a PCIe slot), or
■ Plug-in PCIe controller cards:
— LSI MegaRAID 9265CV-8i (with 1 GB TMM data cache and SuperCap for data cache
power backup)
— LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i
— LSI MegaRAID 9220-8i
— LSI MegaRAID 9220-4i
Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller card chosen
and the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed in
Table 5.
RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, although they are not available as factory-configured RAID
options.
Select RAID Options
Select one RAID controller (either software RAID in Tabl e 5 or hardware RAID using a plug-in
RAID controller and an appropriate RAID configuration option in Table 6 on page 16).
NOTE: Factory-configured RAID is not available if you choose software RAID (in this
case, you must configure RAID yourself using separate software).
