Configuring the RAID storage system

The nControl unit is fitted with two hard disk drives, which are configured to use RAID 1 mirroring.

Instead of using a single disk to store data, it is written to both drives simultaneously. This ensures that should one of the drives fail, there is a full copy of the data on the other and the system can continue to operate normally.

Caution: It is very important that you only make changes to the RAID settings when under instruction from MediaMatrix Technical Support. It is possible to lose data stored on the nControl unit or stop it from booting if you specify settings incorrectly.

1. On the main set up screen, click Advanced.

   You will be asked to confirm your choice.

2. Click Continue.

   The Advanced Functions screen is displayed.

   

3. Click Raid.

   The Intel Matrix Storage Console is displayed.

4. Perform the actions you have been instructed to perform by MediaMatrix Technical Support.
5. When you have finished, exit Intel Matrix Storage Console.
