USC and USC-LCE Operations 79
Configuring RAID using Software RAID
Use this feature to configure RAID if a PERC S100 controller on the
motherboard or a PERC S300 RAID controller card is present in the system.
If the software RAID option is selected, USC-LCE displays the physical disks
as Non-RAID disks or RAID-ready disks.
• Non-RAID disk — A single disk without any RAID properties. Needs
initialization to apply RAID levels.
• RAID-ready disk — The disk is initialized and a RAID level can be applied.
NOTE: Linux and VMware operating systems cannot be installed using Software
RAID controllers (S100 and S300).
Prerequisites
• S100 controller
– In Option ROM, change the SATA Controller option to RAID Mode.
– Latest BIOS version must be installed. For more information on the
BIOS versions for different systems, see
USC-LCE Readme
.
NOTE: If you have an older BIOS, you can configure RAID only through Option
ROM.
• S300 — Latest firmware version for S300 controller must be installed.
