18 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card Software User Guide, Version 10.0

First-Time RAID Configuration

Using 3BM

If you will install the operating system on and boot from a unit managed

through the new 3ware RAID controller, follow the steps in this chapter to use

the 3ware BIOS Manager (3BM) to configure the unit and install the driver.

If the operating system is already installed on another drive in your system,

you can use the steps below or you can configure units through 3DM or the

CLI.

You can create one or more units on a single controller, depending on the

number of drives that the specific 3ware RAID controller supports and the

number of drives attached. (For more information, see “Determining What

RAID Level to Use” on page 11.)

Basic Steps for Creating a Unit

The process of configuring your RAID units includes these main steps, which

are detailed in the step-by-step example:

• Launch 3BM (3ware BIOS Manager)

• Select the drives to be included and indicate that you want to create a unit

• Select the desired RAID configuration

• Set other parameters, depending on the type of RAID configuration

• Confirm the unit configuration

• Save your changes and finish up

Note: If the capacity of the unit you create will exceed 2TB and you are using

Windows 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit without SP1) or Linux 2.4, you will need to enable

auto-carving. Before creating your unit, follow the instructions under “Using Auto-

Carving for Multi LUN Support” on page 83.
