Let’s see what is RAID1+0 and how can we configure RAID1+0 in a HP Server. RAID 1+0 is mixture of RAID 0 (Stripping) and RAID 1 (Mirroring). It also delivers the benefits of both in a single system. As you can see in the picture, it stripes the mirrored drives. Thus, it will have the security of mirroring all data on another set of drives while striping of each set of drives to increases the data transfer speed. RAID 1+0 is the perfect solution for the servers running databases and high availability applications which demands data read/write efficiency and high fault tolerance. RAID 1+0 requires minimum four drives.
Power on the server and wait for the Array Controller ROM utility to prompt you to press F8 to run RAID configuration.
Press F8 to enter the utility then you will get the Array controller utility to create logical drives. Select Create logical drive and press Enter
Press Enter to create the logical drive.
Press F8 to Save the configuration. This will create the RAID 0 Logical Drive.
Press Enter to continue. That will take you to the main menu again. It is good to verify the Logical drive we created. For that select View Logical Drive and press Enter
That will show you the logical drive you have just created. Since I have selected all eight Physical disks (146GB each disk) available, for this logical drive we have got 546 TB capacity. Since it will mirror you will get only the half size of the total capacity of the drives.
You can select the Logical Drive and press Enter to see the physical disk array(total number of disk used in this RAID 1+0 local drive.
When you quit from the utility server will continue the boot process.
