AMD RAID Configuration
Creating Arrays
Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized.
Important
y
For redundant arrays, the Create process is not started until after the operating
system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to
the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a
bootable array or a data array.
y
Array numbers are valid only for a given boot and might be different in the
RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility and RAIDXpert2. If a permanent label is required, use
the RAIDXpert2 Web GUI Array Naming feature.

At any point in the procedure, return to a prior window by pressing ESC.
y
If the system is booted from an AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the
Arrays section must be the bootable array. The system boots only from the first array
in the Arrays section.

menu.
