The MegaRAID Storage Manager software enables you to easily configure the controllers, drives, and other storage-related devices installed on a server or on a workstation. The configuration utility simplifies the process of creating drive groups and virtual drives. You can use the
Simple Configuration mode to have the MegaRAID Storage Manager software 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.
