Advanced Installation Steps
Naming the RAID Volume
In
Figure 2-5
, RAID 0 volume is named
Volume1
. By default, the first RAID volume name will
always appear as
Volume1
. You are free to rename the RAID volume providing it starts with an
alpha character between A and Z in upper or lower case and does not exceed the 15 character limit.
The name may include an
“
_
”
(underscore) character. Rename the existing volume name if needed.
Choosing the Size of the RAID Volume
In
Figure 2-5
, the maximum volume size available (by default the maximum size always appears),
21455,
has been selected. Another way to allocate the maximum size available to a RAID volume
is to enter a size value of 0.
A value of 0 will automatically allocate all available space to a new
RAID volume.
Enter the appropriate volume size.
Choosing the RAID Volume as a Boot Device
In
Figure 2-5,
the RAID 0 Volume being created is selected by default to become the boot device.
To select the RAID 0 Volume as a boot device select
Yes
, or select
No
to create the volume without
selecting it as the boot device. For more information about selecting a boot device see
Section 2.3.4.3
. The RAID 0 confirmation screen appears (
Figure 2-6
).
Figure 2-5. Create RAID 0 Volume
The Create RAID 0 confirmation screen confirms that the user is creating a RAID 0 volume. If you
are satisfied with the selections you have made for your RAID 0 volume, select
Yes
and the volume
creation process begins.
