Configuration

MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) software enables you to easily configure the controllers, drives, battery backup units, and other storage-related devices installed on a server or workstation. The configuration utility simplifies the process of creating drive groups and virtual drives. You can use the Simple Configuration mode to have MSM automatically create the best possible configuration using the available drives. You can use the Advanced Configuration mode to have greater flexibility than simple configuration 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.
