Configuration
MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) software enables you to configure the controllers, drives, battery backup units, and other storage-related devices installed on a server or workstation. The configuration utility greatly simplifies the process of creating drive groups and virtual drives and allows you to easily create new storage configurations and modify the configurations. For more information, see the Configuration topic.
You can create the following types of configurations:
- Simple configuration specifies a limited number of settings and has the system select drives for you. This option is the easiest way to create a virtual drive.
- Advanced configuration lets you choose additional settings and customize virtual drive creation. This option provides greater flexibility when creating virtual drives for your specific requirements because you can select the drives and the virtual drive settings when you create a virtual drive. In addition, you can use the advanced configuration procedure to create spanned drive groups.
The Modify Drive Group Wizard enables you to increase the capacity of a virtual drive and to change the RAID level of a drive group.
The Modify Drive Group Wizard was previously known as the Reconstruction Wizard.
